   That's actually very easy to do, because you extracting the information
   based on the *DELETE* transaction id, not the *CREATE* transaction id.
   If the information is not deleted (delete_tid is 0), then it is current
   information regardless of how long ago it was created.
What about overlapping regions?

<----OLD---->
        <NEW>
the OLD won't have a delete_tid != 0.  Or will hammer split up the 
extent into smaller pieces when the new one comes in?

cheers
