+// The cache is stored on disk as a collection of block-files, plus an index
+// file plus a collection of external files.
+//
+// Any data blob bigger than kMaxBlockSize (disk_cache/addr.h) will be stored in
+// a separate file named f_xxx where x is a hexadecimal number. Shorter data
+// will be stored as a series of blocks on a block-file. In any case, CacheAddr
+// represents the address of the data inside the cache.
+//
+// The index file is just a simple hash table that maps a particular entry to
+// a CacheAddr value. Linking for a given hash bucket is handled internally
+// by the cache entry.
+//
+// The last element of the cache is the block-file. A block file is a file
+// designed to store blocks of data of a given size. For more details see
+// disk_cache/disk_format_base.h
+//
+// A new cache is initialized with four block files (named data_0 through
+// data_3), each one dedicated to store blocks of a given size. The number at
+// the end of the file name is the block file number (in decimal).
+//
+// There are two "special" types of blocks: an entry and a rankings node. An
+// entry keeps track of all the information related to the same cache entry,
+// such as the key, hash value, data pointers etc. A rankings node keeps track
+// of the information that is updated frequently for a given entry, such as its
+// location on the LRU lists, last access time etc.
+//
+// The files that store internal information for the cache (blocks and index)
+// are at least partially memory mapped. They have a location that is signaled
+// every time the internal structures are modified, so it is possible to detect
+// (most of the time) when the process dies in the middle of an update.
+//
+// In order to prevent dirty data to be used as valid (after a crash), every
+// cache entry has a dirty identifier. Each running instance of the cache keeps
+// a separate identifier (maintained on the "this_id" header field) that is used
+// to mark every entry that is created or modified. When the entry is closed,
+// and all the data can be trusted, the dirty flag is cleared from the entry.
+// When the cache encounters an entry whose identifier is different than the one
+// being currently used, it means that the entry was not properly closed on a
+// previous run, so it is discarded.
