TODO:

add an option to collect histograms over index records so that "fat" in the indices may be targetted. We can always report histograms for the raw key and value data. However, with either an extensible serializer or with some application aware logic we are also able to report type specific histograms., add an option to dump only as of a specified commitTime?, add an option to copy off data from one or more indices as of a specified commit time?, add an option to restrict the names of the indices to be dumped (-name=)., allow dump even on a journal that is open (e.g., only request a read lock or do not request a lock). An error is reported when you actually begin to read from the file once it is opened in a read-only mode if there is another process with an exclusive lock. In fact, since the root blocks must be consistent when they are read, a reader would have to have a lock at the moment that it read the root blocks...
