Interpreting the output of a dump queue

Stable queues consist of partitions. Partitions are created with the add partition command. Whenever a partition is added to the replication server, it is divided into 1 megabyte segments. Segments are divided into 64 blocks of 16 KB. Messages have fixed size headers, variable size messages, and are written into blocks.
