/*
   The main idea of a pyramid chunker is to process the input data without knowing the entire size apriori.
   For this to be achieved, the chunker tree is built from the ground up until the data is exhausted.
   This opens up new aveneus such as easy append and other sort of modifications to the tree thereby avoiding
   duplication of data chunks.


   Below is an example of a two level chunks tree. The leaf chunks are called data chunks and all the above
   chunks are called tree chunks. The tree chunk above data chunks is level 0 and so on until it reaches
   the root tree chunk.



                                            T10                                        <- Tree chunk lvl1
                                            |
                  __________________________|_____________________________
                 /                  |                   |                \
                /                   |                   \                 \
            __T00__             ___T01__           ___T02__           ___T03__         <- Tree chunks lvl 0
           / /     \           / /      \         / /      \         / /      \
          / /       \         / /        \       / /       \        / /        \

    The split function continuously read the data and creates data chunks and send them to storage.
    When certain no of data chunks are created (defaultBranches), a signal is sent to create a tree
    entry. When the level 0 tree entries reaches certain threshold (defaultBranches), another signal
    is sent to a tree entry one level up.. and so on... until only the data is exhausted AND only one
    tree entry is present in certain level. The key of tree entry is given out as the rootKey of the file.
