"""
Defines the base interface for reading and writing operations.

Readers/Writers are objects that produce operations that read/write sequences
of data. Each operation reads or writes a list of BlobReferences.

Readers and Writers must be implemented such that read and write operations
are atomic and thread safe.

Examples of possible Readers and Writers:
    QueueReader, QueueWriter,
    DatasetReader, DatasetWriter,

See `dataset.py` for an example of implementation.
