/**
 * A wrapper for an external store that uses checksums and retries

 * store either returns consistent results or fails with an error.
 *
 * This wrapper works by tracking what is in the external store,
 * using content hashes and ids placed in consistent stores.  These
 * consistent stores are:
 *
 *   - sharedHash: a key/value store containing expected checksums
 *     of content in the external store.  In our setup, this is
 *     implemented using Redis.  Populated on upload and checked on
 *     download.
 *   - localHash: a key/value store containing checksums of uploaded
 *     content.  In our setup, this is implemented on the worker's
 *     disk.  This is used to skip unnecessary uploads.  Populated
 *     on download and checked on upload.
 *   - latestVersion: a key/value store containing snapshotIds of
 *     uploads.  In our setup, this is implemented in the worker's
 *     memory.  Only affects the consistency of the `versions` method.
 *     Populated on upload and checked on `versions` calls.
 *     TODO: move to Redis if consistency of `versions` during worker
 *     transitions becomes important.
 *
 * It is not important for all this side information to persist very
 * long, just long enough to give the store time to become
 * consistent.
 *
 * Keys presented to this class should be file-system safe.
