> When I was adding zip64 support for split zip, I encountered a problem :
> When adding testcases in {{Zip64SupportIT}}, I created a split zip with 
> 10,000+ split segments. Then I found that I was unable to unzip it because 
> there would be too many open files when extracting it. We can oepn the files 
> when actually needed and therefore we can successfully extract such split 
> zips with great amount of segments.
> I have set a threshold of 20 in {{MultiReadOnlySeekableByteChannel}}. The 
> "open when actually needed" procedure will only work when the number of split 
> segments is greater than the threshold.
>  
> This may be used in ZipArchiveInputStream and ZipFile cause 
> {{MultiReadOnlySeekableByteChannel}} is used in them.
>  
> Actually this is a pretty rare case cause most split zips would not have too 
> many segments. Just thinking about a split zip with 1,000+ segments - it must 
> be a nightmare. So I'm not sure if this is needed for 
> {{MultiReadOnlySeekableByteChannel.WDYT?}}
