 * Interface that defines how calling application needs to expose data to upload,
 * so that client can upload it to multiple stores (or for possible
 * retries) as necessary.
 *
 * Methods are typically called in order of:
 *
 
 * {@link #contentAsBytes}
 * {@link #contentAsFile}
 * {@link #contentAsStream}
 * 
 * until non-null response is received; not that most implementations return null
 * from one or more of methods, to indicate that they are not optimal accessors.
