Re: staticAssertStmt(MAX_FORKNUM <= INT8_MAX);
Have you really thought through making the ForkNum 8-bit ?
For example this would limit a columnar storage with each column
stored in it's own fork (which I'd say is not entirely unreasonable)
to having just about ~250 columns.
And there can easily be other use cases where we do not want to limit
number of forks so much
Cheers
