    /**
     * Our btree implementation generally follows the standard btree algorithm,
     * which is described in many places.  The nodes of our btree are referred to
     * as buckets below.  These buckets are of size BucketSize and their body is
     * an ordered array of <bson key, disk loc> pairs, where disk loc is the disk
     * location of a document and bson key is a projection of this document into
     * the schema of the index for this btree.  Ordering is determined on the
     * basis of bson key first and then disk loc in case of a tie.  All bson keys
     * for a btree have identical schemas with empty string field names and may
     * not have an objsize() exceeding KeyMax.  The btree's buckets are
     * themselves organized into an ordered tree.  Although there are exceptions,
     * generally buckets with n keys have n+1 children and the body of a bucket is
     * at least lowWaterMark bytes.  A more strictly enforced requirement is that
     * a non root bucket must have at least one key except in certain transient
     * states.
     *
     * Our btrees support the following primary read operations: finding a
     * specified key; iterating from a starting key to the next or previous
     * ordered key; and skipping from a starting key to another specified key
     * without checking every intermediate key.  The primary write operations
     * are insertion and deletion of keys.  Insertion may trigger a bucket split
     * if necessary to avoid bucket overflow.  In such a case, subsequent splits
     * will occur recursively as necessary.  Deletion may trigger a bucket
     * rebalance, in which a size deficient bucket is filled with keys from an
     * adjacent bucket.  In this case, splitting may potentially occur in the
     * parent.  Deletion may alternatively trigger a merge, in which the keys
     * from two buckets and a key from their shared parent are combined into the
     * same bucket.  In such a case, rebalancing or merging may proceed
     * recursively from the parent.
     *
     * While the btree data format has been relatively constant over time, btrees
     * initially created by versions of mongo earlier than the current version
     * may embody different properties than freshly created btrees (while
     * following the same data format).  These older btrees are referred to
     * below as legacy btrees.

     * an object for which writing has not been signaled.  Non const member
     * functions may only be called on objects for which writing has been
     * signaled.  Note that currently some const functions write to the
     * underlying memory representation of this bucket using optimized methods
     * to signal write operations.
     *
     * DiskLoc parameters that may shadow references within the btree should
     * be passed by value rather than by reference to non const member
     * functions or to const member functions which may perform writes.  This way
     * a callee need not worry that write operations will change or invalidate
     * its arguments.
     *
     * The current policy for dealing with bson arguments is the opposite of
     * what is described above for DiskLoc arguments.  We do not want to copy
     * bson into memory as an intermediate step for btree changes, and if bson
     * is to be moved it must be copied to the new location before the old
     * location is invalidated.  Care should be taken in cases where that invalid
     * memory may be implicitly referenced by function arguments.
     *
     * A number of functions below require a thisLoc argument, which must be the
     * disk location of the bucket mapped to 'this'.

     * trigger modification of another node in the btree or potentially of the

     * casts away const when indicating an intent to write to the durability
     * layer.  The DiskLocs provided to such functions should be passed by
     * value if they shadow pointers within the btree.
     *
     * To clarify enforcement of referential integrity in this implementation,
     * we use the following pattern when deleting data we have a persistent
     * pointer to.  The pointer is cleared or removed explicitly, then the data
     * it pointed to is cleaned up with a helper function.
     *
     * TODO It might make sense to put some of these functions in a class
     * representing a full btree instead of a single btree bucket.  That would
     * allow us to use the const qualifier in a manner more consistent with
     * standard usage.  Right now the interface is for both a node and a tree,
     * so assignment of const is sometimes nonideal.

     * TODO There are several cases in which the 'this' pointer is invalidated
     * as a result of deallocation.  A separate class representing a btree would
     * alleviate some fragile cases where the implementation must currently
     * behave correctly if the 'this' pointer is suddenly invalidated by a
