Michael Dürig commented on OAK-2498:
------------------------------------

This didn't gain us too much. I'm considering trying to squeeze out a bit more from the record ids. Will reopen OAK-4844 for that and attach a patch there. 

> Root record references provide too little context for parsing a segment

> According to the [documentation | http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/nodestore/segmentmk.html] the root record references in a segment header provide enough context for parsing all records within this segment without any external information. 
> Turns out this is not true: if a root record reference turns e.g. to a list record. The items in that list are record ids of unknown type. So even though those records might live in the same segment, we can't parse them as we don't know their type.
