> The original BlobStore implementations support an additional contract, which 
> is tested, but so far the applications can't rely on. The contract is that 
> concatenating multiple blobIds is a valid blobId, and means the binaries are 
> concatenated. The use cases are to support partial and concurrent uploads / 
> transfers. Depending on the backend, this can speed up transfers quite a bit. 
> Also, it allows new use cases, for example "resume upload" without having to 
> re-upload or stream the existing binary. 
> The DataStore implementations don't support those use cases. Now, with the 
> DataStoreBlobStore compatibility wrapper, this contract can't be supported by 
> all BlobStore implementations. That's fine. However, the tests against the 
> other BlobStores should still test this contract.
> I will add a new marker interface "ChunkingBlobStore" so the unit tests can 
> verify the contract.
