The internal nodes in the BTree. These nodes do not contain any data - they are simply pointers to lower level
index nodes or leaf nodes.
Each node follows the pattern of an indexnode which is an array of sorted pointers to a lower level index or leaf node. Each entry
in the array contains the largest value in the subtree under the pointer. The Node itself in its right value contains the largest
entry in its array.
