/**
* A data cache implemented as a circularly managed file
*
* A single file is used to stored objects. The file grows to a
* specified maximum size, then is rewritten from the start,
* overwriting older entries.
*
* Data objects inside the cache each have two parts: a data segment and an
* attribute (metadata) dictionary.
* They are named using the same identifiers that are used inside the Recoll
* index (the UDI).
*
* Inside the file. the UDIs are stored inside the entry dictionary
* under the key "udi".
*
* It is assumed that the dictionary are small (they are routinely read/parsed)
*
* A problem with this approach is that repetitively storing the same
* object will evict all others. This could be somewhat optimized by reusing
* the last entry if it has the same udi as the one written, but not done
* currently.
