Commit Message

Han-Wen Nienhuys Nov. 26, 2020, 7:42 p.m. UTC
From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@google.com>

The reftable format is structured as a sequence of block. Within a block,
records are prefix compressed, with an index of offsets for fully expand keys to
enable binary search within blocks.

This commit provides the logic to read and write these blocks.

Includes a code snippet copied from zlib

+     Decompresses the source buffer into the destination buffer.  *sourceLen is

+   uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data must have been saved
+   previously by the compressor and transmitted to the decompressor by some
+   mechanism outside the scope of this compression library.) Upon exit,
+   *destLen is the size of the decompressed data and *sourceLen is the number
+   of source bytes consumed. Upon return, source + *sourceLen points to the
+   first unused input byte.
+
+     uncompress returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
+   memory, Z_BUF_ERROR if there was not enough room in the output buffer, or
+   Z_DATA_ERROR if the input data was corrupted, including if the input data is
