             Summary: Root record references provide too little context for parsing a segment
                 Key: OAK-2498
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-2498
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: segmentmk
            Reporter: Michael Dürig
            Assignee: Michael Dürig


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.
