stored in a single file.
There could be a maximum object / chunk / file size restriction on the
remote storage. So, one Kafka
segment could be saved in multiple chunks in remote storage.

Having one local segment can be stored in multiple files and each file
can have a base position as part of the metadata(like name) of file or
object etc.
File/object name can be <startOffset>-<endOffset>-<basePosition>. So
any read request for a position with in that segment can be found by
computing relative position viz `fetchPosition-basePosition`.
