/**
*
* A Content object encapsulates content (a document) that can be transferred to and inserted into a
* contentbase. Because {@link Session#insertContent(Content)} automatically handles recovery of
* interrupted document inserts, Content objects must be rewindable to enable auto-retry.
*
*
* It is possible to create non-rewindable Content instances, such as from an InputStream, which is
* too large to buffer and can only be consumed once. If a problem is encountered during or after a
* non-rewindable Content instance is processed then no automatic retries will be possible and an
* exception will be thrown.
*
*
* If rewindable and non-rewindable Content objects are mixed together in a multi-document insert (
* {@link Session#insertContent(Content[])} and only rewindable instances have so far been
* processed, the insert will be retryable. If a non-rewindable instance is in process or if the
* current instance is rewindable but a non-rewindable instance has previously been processed when a
* problem occurs then no automatic retry is possible and processing will stop with an exception.
*
*
* Instances of this interface for common usage patterns may be created with the
* {@link ContentFactory} helper class. This interface may also be implemented by user code to
* handle specialized situations.
