 integer values should be stored using big-endian encoding (so that the lex
 order on byte strings is the numeric ordering).
 
+Note that the lex order storage allows creating 1-to-many maps using keys only.
+For example, the `tx_loc_by_transparent_addr_loc` allows mapping each address
+to all transactions related to it, by simply storing each transaction prefixed
+with the address as the key, leaving the value empty. Since rocksdb allows
+listing all keys with a given prefix, it will allow listing all transactions
+related to a given address.

 We use the following rocksdb column families:

+The following figure helps visualizing the address index, which is the most complicated part.
+Numbers in brackets are array sizes; bold arrows are compositions (i.e. `TransactionLocation` is the
+concatenation of `Height` and `TransactionIndex`); dashed arrows are compositions that are also 1-to-many
+maps (i.e. `AddressTransaction` is the concatenation of `AddressLocation` and `TransactionLocation`,
+but also is used to map each `AddressLocation` to multiple `TransactionLocation`s).
