Interface DataStore

All Known Implementing Classes:
FileSystemDataStore
public interface DataStore
Interface for storing data or objects to some persistent backend.

The data store organizes related data, called Blobs, in collections called Containers. A container is referenced by a Reference, and each blob is referenced by a name. A data store is itself an abstract representation of the underlying storage, as the content could be stored on a local file system, cloud storage, or a database.
