Returns the index bytes and value bytes for the key-value and also the used value offset information for writing the next key-value.
Each key also has a meta block which can be used to backward compatibility to store more information for that key in the future that does not fit the current key format.
Currently all keys are being stored under EmptyMeta.
Note: No extra bytes are required to differentiate between a key that has meta or no meta block.
Compresses duplicate values if set to true.
