+ * This file contents the actual implementation of the rados striped objects interface.
+ *
+ * Striped objects are stored in rados in a set of regular rados objects, after their
+ * content has been striped using the osdc/Striper interface.
+ *
+ * The external attributes of the striped object are mapped to the attributes of the
+ * first underlying object. This first object has a set of extra external attributes
+ * storing the layout of the striped object for future read back. These attributes are :
+ *  - striper.layout.object_size : the size of rados objects used.
+ *                                 Must be a multiple of striper.layout.stripe_unit
+ *  - striper.layout.stripe_unit : the size of a stripe unit
+ *  - striper.layout.stripe_count : the number of stripes used
+ *  - striper.size : total striped object size
+ *
+ * In general operations on striped objects are not atomic.
+ * However, a certain number of safety guards have been put to make the interface closer
+ * to atomicity :
+ *  - each data operation takes a shared lock on the first rados object for the
+ *    whole time of the operation
+ *  - the remove and trunc operations take an exclusive lock on the first rados object
+ *    for the whole time of the operation
+ * This makes sure that no removal/truncation of a striped object occurs while
+ * data operations are happening and vice versa. It thus makes sure that the layout
+ * of a striped object does not change during data operation, which is essential for
+ * data consistency.
+ *
+ * Still the writing to a striped object is not atomic. This means in particular that
+ * the size of an object may not be in sync with its content at all times.
+ * As the size is always garanteed to be updated first and in an atomic way, and as
+ * sparse striped objects are supported (see below), what will typically happen is
+ * that a reader that comes too soon after a write will read 0s instead of the actual
+ * data.
+ *
+ * Note that remove handles the pieces of the striped object in reverse order,
+ * so that the head object is removed last, making the completion of the deletion atomic.
+ *
+ * Striped objects can be sparse, typically in case data was written at the end of the
+ * striped object only. In such a case, some rados objects constituing the striped object
+ * may be missing. Other can be partial (only the beginning will have data)
+ * When dealing with such sparse striped files, missing objects are detected and
+ * considered as full of 0s. They are however not created until real data is written
+ * to them.
+ *
+ * There are a number of missing features/improvements that could be implemented.
+ * Here are some ideas :
+ *    - implementation of missing entry points (compared to rados)
+ *      In particular : clone_range, sparse_read, exec, aio_flush_async, tmaps, omaps, ...
