+/**
+ * This abstract class writes skip lists with multiple levels.
+ *
+ * Example for skipInterval = 3:
+ * c (skip level 2)
+ * c c c (skip level 1)
+ * x x x x x x x x x x (skip level 0)
+ * d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d (posting list)
+ * 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 (df)
+ *
+ * d - document
+ * x - skip data
+ * c - skip data with child pointer
+ *
+ * Skip level i contains every skipInterval-th entry from skip level i-1.
+ * Therefore the number of entries on level i is: floor(df / ((skipInterval ^ (i + 1))).
+ *
+ * Each skip entry on a level i>0 contains a pointer to the corresponding skip entry in list i-1.
+ * This guarantees a logarithmic amount of skips to find the target document.
+ *
+ * While this class takes care of writing the different skip levels,
+ * subclasses must define the actual format of the skip data.
