  // Sparse entries support:
  //
  // A Backend implementation can support sparse entries, so the cache keeps
  // track of which parts of the entry have been written before. The backend
  // will never return data that was not written previously, so reading from
  // such region will return 0 bytes read (or actually the number of bytes read
  // before reaching that region).
  //
  // There are only two streams for sparse entries: a regular control stream
  // (index 0) that must be accessed through the regular API (ReadData and
  // WriteData), and one sparse stream that must me accessed through the sparse-
  // aware API that follows. Calling a non-sparse aware method with an index
  // argument other than 0 is a mistake that results in implementation specific
  // behavior. Using a sparse-aware method with an entry that was not stored
  // using the same API, or with a backend that doesn't support sparse entries
  // will return ERR_CACHE_OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED.
  //
  // The storage granularity of the implementation should be at least 1 KB. In
  // other words, storing less than 1 KB may result in an implementation
  // dropping the data completely, and writing at offsets not aligned with 1 KB,
  // or with lengths not a multiple of 1 KB may result in the first or last part
  // of the data being discarded. However, two consecutive writes should not
  // result in a hole in between the two parts as long as they are sequential
  // (the second one starts where the first one ended), and there is no other
  // write between them.
  //
  // The Backend implementation is free to evict any range from the cache at any
  // moment, so in practice, the previously stated granularity of 1 KB is not
  // as bad as it sounds.
  //
  // The sparse methods don't support multiple simultaneous IO operations to the
  // same physical entry, so in practice a single object should be instantiated
  // for a given key at any given time. Once an operation has been issued, the
  // caller should wait until it completes before starting another one. This
  // requirement includes the case when an entry is closed while some operation
  // is in progress and another object is instantiated; any IO operation will
  // fail while the previous operation is still in-flight. In order to deal with
  // this requirement, the caller could either wait until the operation
  // completes before closing the entry, or call CancelSparseIO() before closing
  // the entry, and call ReadyForSparseIO() on the new entry and wait for the
  // callback before issuing new operations.
