reverse-sorted by timestamp> + <list of values, forward-sorted by timestamp>

Review Comment:
   No, `nextTimestamp` is always present, even if the segment is empty. In the 
case where the segment is empty, we still need to store the tombstone's 
timestamp somewhere, and we choose to store it in `nextTimestamp` since 
`nextTimestamp` is serialized first.
