This exchanges the
\n
(newline) document separator with the sequence\x00\x00\x1E\n
, which is distinguishing enough to be searchable in the partition. Hence, this will allow checking for unfinished writes and search the last valid document and even scan through the partition backwards.For optimization of that use case, the document data size is stored again before the document separator.
