 - `max_get_multi_batch_size`: maximum number of keys a single underlying operation should fetch. If more keys are specified, internally keys are splitted into multiple batches and fetched concurrently, honoring `max_get_multi_concurrency`. If set to `0`, the batch size is unlimited.

+## Index Header
+
+In order to query series inside blocks from object storage, Store Gateway has to know certain initial info about each block such as:
+
+* symbols table to unintern string values
+* postings offset for posting lookup   
+
+In order to achieve so, on startup for each block `index-header` is built from pieces of original block's index and stored on disk.
+Such `index-header` file is then mmaped and used by Store Gateway.
+
+### Format (version 1)
+
+The following describes the format of the `index-header` file found in each block store gateway local directory.
+It is terminated by a table of contents which serves as an entry point into the index.
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┐
+│    magic(0xBAAAD792) <4b>   │      version(1) <1 byte>      │
+├─────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┤ 
+│  index version(2) <1 byte>  │ index PostingOffsetTable <8b> │
+├─────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────┤
+│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
+│ │      Symbol Table (exact copy from original index)      │ │

+│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+When the index is written, an arbitrary number of padding bytes may be added between the lined out main sections above. When sequentially scanning through the file, any zero bytes after a section's specified length must be skipped.
+
+Most of the sections described below start with a `len` field. It always specifies the number of bytes just before the trailing CRC32 checksum. The checksum is always calculated over those `len` bytes.
+
+### Symbol Table
+
+See [Symbols](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/d782387f814753b0118d402ec8cdbdef01bf9079/tsdb/docs/format/index.md#symbol-table)
+
+### Postings Offset Table
+
+See [Posting Offset Table](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/d782387f814753b0118d402ec8cdbdef01bf9079/tsdb/docs/format/index.md#postings-offset-table)
+
+### TOC
+
+The table of contents serves as an entry point to the entire index and points to various sections in the file.
+If a reference is zero, it indicates the respective section does not exist and empty results should be returned upon lookup.
+
+```
