 * Encode a key for the db write/read, Prepend a bucket to a key
 *
 * The encoding of key is very important step that can cause failure of proper indexing and querying of data
 *
 * We are using LevelDB which have pluggable comparator support, so you can decide how to
 * compare keys. But for NodeJS binding only default comparison algorithm is supported which
 * uses lexicographical comparison of the raw bytes of the keys
 *
 * It is important to use **helpers implemented here** to encode db keys so that key comparison properly work.
