### Label Index
A label index section indexes the existing (combined) values for one or more label names.
The `#names` field determines the number indexed label names, followed by the total number of entries in the `#entries` field. The body holds `#entries` symbol table reference tuples of length of length `#names`. The value tuples are sorted in lexicographically increasing order.

The sequence of label index sections is finalized by an offset table pointing to the beginning of each label index section for a given set of label names.
For instance, a single label name with 4 different values will be encoded as:
```
┌────┬───┬───┬──────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────┬───────┐

### Postings
Postings sections store monotonically increasing lists of series references that contain a given label pair associated with the list.
