I've noticed that, to make stream splittable, we have to read footer section to determine block indexes.
But in some context, it is hard to retrieve the file length, thus cannot easily seek to a relative position of the end of file.
On the other hand, in these contexts, another field in HEADER which indicates the footer offset will be handy.

Can this be solved?
