Review Comment:
   The pattern I was going for was:
   * validTo and validFrom timestamps are not styled in code markup, except 
when literally referring to code, e.g., in the javadoc for a method which 
literally takes parameters called "validFrom" and "validTo". There are very few 
of these latter cases.
   * `nextTimestamp` and `minTimestamp` are styled as code markups (they are 
code concepts only).
   
   I think all the docs are consistent with this stylization, but if that's not 
the case I can fix it. I can also change "validFrom" and "validTo" to be 
"valid-from" and "valid-to" when used as regular English, if you think that'd 
help.

have a record version

one edge case /
+ * exception is when the latest record version (for a particular key) is a 
tombstone, and the
+ * segment in which this tombstone is to be stored contains currently no 
record versions.
+ * This case will result in a "degenerate" segment containing the single 
tombstone, with both
+ * {@code min_timestamp} and {@code next_timestamp} equal to the (validFrom) 
timestamp of the
+ * tombstone. (It is valid to interpret this tombstone's validTo timestamp as 
being equal to its
+ * validFrom timestamp, as querying for the latest record version as of a 
later timestamp will
+ * correctly return that no record version is present.) Note also that after a 
"degenerate" segment
+ * has formed, it's possible that the segment will remain degenerate even as 
newer record versions
+ * are added. (For example, if additional puts happen with later timestamps 
such that those puts
+ * only affect later segments, then the earlier degenerate segment will remain 
degenerate.)
+ * <p>
+ * Callers of this class need not concern themselves with this detail because 
all the exposed
+ * methods function as expected, even in the degenerate segment case. All 
methods may still be

Review Comment:
   Fair enough. I'll remove these.
