/**
 * An adapter that translates between database entries (key, primary key, data)
 * and a "value", which may be either the key, primary key, or entity.  This
 * interface is used to implement a generic index and cursor (BasicIndex and
 * BasicCursor).  If we didn't use this approach, we would need separate index
 * and cursor implementations for each type of value that can be returned.  In
 * other words, this interface is used to reduce class explosion.
