// The cache is stored on disk as a collection of block-files, plus an index
// file plus a collection of external files.
//
// Any data blob bigger than kMaxBlockSize (net/addr.h) will be stored on a
// separate file named f_xxx where x is a hexadecimal number. Shorter data will
// be stored as a series of blocks on a block-file. In any case, CacheAddr
// represents the address of the data inside the cache.
//
// The index file is just a simple hash table that maps a particular entry to
// a CacheAddr value. Linking for a given hash bucket is handled internally
// by the cache entry.
//
// The last element of the cache is the block-file. A block file is a file
// designed to store blocks of data of a given size. It is able to store data
// that spans from one to four consecutive "blocks", and it grows as needed to
// store up to approximately 65000 blocks. It has a fixed size header used for
// book keeping such as tracking free of blocks on the file. For example, a
// block-file for 1KB blocks will grow from 8KB when totally empty to about 64MB
// when completely full. At that point, data blocks of 1KB will be stored on a
// second block file that will store the next set of 65000 blocks. The first
// file contains the number of the second file, and the second file contains the
// number of a third file, created when the second file reaches its limit. It is
// important to remember that no matter how long the chain of files is, any
// given block can be located directly by its address, which contains the file
// number and starting block inside the file.
//
// A new cache is initialized with four block files (named data_0 through
// data_3), each one dedicated to store blocks of a given size. The number at
// the end of the file name is the block file number (in decimal).
//
// There are two "special" types of blocks: an entry and a rankings node. An
// entry keeps track of all the information related to the same cache entry,
// such as the key, hash value, data pointers etc. A rankings node keeps track
// of the information that is updated frequently for a given entry, such as its
// location on the LRU lists, last access time etc.
//
// The files that store internal information for the cache (blocks and index)
// are at least partially memory mapped. They have a location that is signaled
// every time the internal structures are modified, so it is possible to detect
// (most of the time) when the process dies in the middle of an update.
//
// In order to prevent dirty data to be used as valid (after a crash), every
// cache entry has a dirty identifier. Each running instance of the cache keeps
// a separate identifier (maintained on the "this_id" header field) that is used
// to mark every entry that is created or modified. When the entry is closed,
// and all the data can be trusted, the dirty flag is cleared from the entry.
// When the cache encounters an entry whose identifier is different than the one
// being currently used, it means that the entry was not properly closed on a
// previous run, so it is discarded.

// Sparse data support:
// We keep a two level hierarchy to enable sparse data for an entry: the first
// level consists of using separate "child" entries to store ranges of 1 MB,
// and the second level stores blocks of 1 KB inside each child entry.
//
// Whenever we need to access a particular sparse offset, we first locate the
// child entry that stores that offset, so we discard the 20 least significant
// bits of the offset, and end up with the child id. For instance, the child id
// to store the first megabyte is 0, and the child that should store offset
// 0x410000 has an id of 4.
//
// The child entry is stored the same way as any other entry, so it also has a
// name (key). The key includes a signature to be able to identify children
// created for different generations of the same resource. In other words, given
// that a given sparse entry can have a large number of child entries, and the
// resource can be invalidated and replaced with a new version at any time, it
// is important to be sure that a given child actually belongs to certain entry.
//
// The full name of a child entry is composed with a prefix ("Range_"), and two
// hexadecimal 64-bit numbers at the end, separated by semicolons. The first
// number is the signature of the parent key, and the second number is the child
// id as described previously. The signature itself is also stored internally by
// the child and the parent entries. For example, a sparse entry with a key of
// "sparse entry name", and a signature of 0x052AF76, may have a child entry
// named "Range_sparse entry name:052af76:4", which stores data in the range
// 0x400000 to 0x4FFFFF.
//
// Each child entry keeps track of all the 1 KB blocks that have been written
// to the entry, but being a regular entry, it will happily return zeros for any
// read that spans data not written before. The actual sparse data is stored in
// one of the data streams of the child entry (at index 1), while the control
// information is stored in another stream (at index 2), both by parents and
// the children.
// This structure contains the control information for parent and child entries.
// It is stored at offset 0 of the data stream with index 2.
// It is possible to write to a child entry in a way that causes the last block
// to be only partialy filled. In that case, last_block and last_block_len will
// keep track of that block.
