//! # Byte Stream Split (BSS) Miniblock Format
//!
//! Byte Stream Split is a data transformation technique optimized for floating-point
//! data compression. It improves compression ratios by reorganizing data to group
//! similar byte patterns together.
//!
//! ## How It Works
//!
//! BSS splits floating-point values by byte position, creating separate streams
//! for each byte position across all values. This transformation exploits the
//! fact that floating-point data often has patterns in specific byte positions
//! (e.g., similar exponents or mantissa patterns).
//!
//! ### Example
//!
//! Input data (f32): `[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]`
//!
//! In little-endian bytes:
//! - 1.0 = `[00, 00, 80, 3F]`
//! - 2.0 = `[00, 00, 00, 40]`
//! - 3.0 = `[00, 00, 40, 40]`
//! - 4.0 = `[00, 00, 80, 40]`
//!
//! After BSS transformation:
//! - Byte stream 0: `[00, 00, 00, 00]` (all first bytes)
//! - Byte stream 1: `[00, 00, 00, 00]` (all second bytes)
//! - Byte stream 2: `[80, 00, 40, 80]` (all third bytes)
//! - Byte stream 3: `[3F, 40, 40, 40]` (all fourth bytes)
//!
//! Output: `[00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 80, 00, 40, 80, 3F, 40, 40, 40]`
//!
//! ## Compression Benefits
//!
//! BSS itself doesn't compress data - it reorders it. The compression benefit
//! comes when BSS is combined with general-purpose compression (e.g., LZ4):
//!
//! 1. **Timestamps**: Sequential timestamps have similar high-order bytes
//! 2. **Sensor data**: Readings often vary in a small range, sharing exponent bits
//! 3. **Financial data**: Prices may cluster around certain values
//!
//! ## Supported Types
//!
//! - 32-bit floating point (f32)
//! - 64-bit floating point (f64)
//!
//! ## Chunk Handling
//!
//! - Maximum chunk size depends on data type:
//!   - f32: 1024 values (4KB per chunk)
//!   - f64: 512 values (4KB per chunk)
//! - All chunks share a single global buffer
//! - Non-last chunks always contain power-of-2 values
