Hi Dan, As a follow-up to this [pre-forum-ML-thread](1), it seems from the API that only full values can be fetched from LSM. Any chance partial read similar to the [Blob-IO API](2) of SQLite, would be available? If it was available, would LSM need to *chase overflow pages* like SQLite does? I.e. does the way LSM physically store values allow it to directly *jump over* to the right page to start reading a far-offset of a large (multi-MB) value? I don't even know whether LSM is *paged* or not I realize. Is there doc equivalent to [SQLite's file-format](3) for LSM.
