Hi,
> I do not know why the mail does not show the description... Sorry it is because I didn't know how to add the detail description when opening an issue on JIRA. Thankfully, I now know how to do that. Below is the raw description: ``` 1) Structure ChunkMetaData.offsetOfChunkHeader refers to the position of Marker_1, while TsDeviceMetadataIndex refers to the position AFTER Marker_2. This may impose unnecessary learning burdens on users. As suggested by Jialin Qiao, an ideal case may be that ChunkMetaData.offsetOfChunkHeader refers to the position AFTER Marker_1 too. 2) Annotation The parameter `boolean markerRead` is used across multiple methods. I found two annotations of it. One annotates "read marker (boolean type)" and the other annotates "Whether the marker of the CHUNK_HEADER has been read". When `markerRead` is FALSE, the former usage will add the current read offset by 1 while the latter usage will read the byte of the Marker. Although they both push forward the read process, the two different meanings of `markerRead` is a bit of a counter-intuitive. A solution is changing the name of the parameter from `markerRead` to `isMarkerExist`, and then when `isMarkerExist` is TRUE, the former usage can choose to add the current read offset by 1 to skip it while the latter usage can choose to read the byte of the Marker. Remind to maintain the tsfile/format-changelist.md if changes are made. ``` > If it is true, then the reader do not need to read 1 byte. Ok then just take care when using it.

A solution is changing the name of the parameter from `markerRead` to `isMarkerExist` The correct meaning of the parameter should be `has the Marker been read`. If it is true, then the reader do not need to read 1 byte. I suggest to make the inconsistency to the above meaning.
