215 // such region will return 0 bytes read (or actually the number of bytes read
216 // before reaching that region).
218 // There are only two streams for sparse entries: a regular control stream
219 // (index 0) that must be accessed through the regular API (ReadData and
220 // WriteData), and one sparse stream that must me accessed through the sparse-
221 // aware API that follows. Calling a non-sparse aware method with an index
222 // argument other than 0 is a mistake that results in implementation specific
223 // behavior. Using a sparse-aware method with an entry that was not stored
224 // using the same API, or with a backend that doesn't support sparse entries
225 // will return ERR_CACHE_OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED.
227 // The storage granularity of the implementation should be at least 1 KB. In
228 // other words, storing less than 1 KB may result in an implementation
229 // dropping the data completely, and writing at offsets not aligned with 1 KB,
230 // or with lengths not a multiple of 1 KB may result in the first or last part
231 // of the data being discarded. However, two consecutive writes should not
232 // result in a hole in between the two parts as long as they are sequential
233 // (the second one starts where the first one ended), and there is no other
234 // write between them.

237 // moment, so in practice, the previously stated granularity of 1 KB is not
