  There are 3 different !SequenceFile formats:
   1. Uncompressed key/value records.
   2. Record compressed key/value records - only 'values' are compressed here.
-  3. Block compressed key/value records - both keys are values are collected in 'blocks' separately and compressed.The size of the 'block' is configurable.
