The punch hole operation can remove some or part of the first entry in the leaf block, and it won't update the parent index. So it's OK for the first entry of the leaf block to be greater than entry in the parent block. However, if the first entry of the leaf block is less than the entry in the parent block, that's definitely going to be a problem. - Ted
