218 // such region will return 0 bytes read (or actually the number of bytes read
219 // before reaching that region).
221 // There are only two streams for sparse entries: a regular control stream
222 // (index 0) that must be accessed through the regular API (ReadData and
223 // WriteData), and one sparse stream that must me accessed through the sparse-
224 // aware API that follows. Calling a non-sparse aware method with an index
225 // argument other than 0 is a mistake that results in implementation specific
226 // behavior. Using a sparse-aware method with an entry that was not stored
227 // using the same API, or with a backend that doesn't support sparse entries
228 // will return ERR_CACHE_OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED.
230 // The storage granularity of the implementation should be at least 1 KB. In

233 // or with lengths not a multiple of 1 KB may result in the first or last part
234 // of the data being discarded. However, two consecutive writes should not
235 // result in a hole in between the two parts as long as they are sequential
236 // (the second one starts where the first one ended), and there is no other
237 // write between them.
