 * A class designed to be called from a long-lived thread.
 * To get an instance of a Pretoucher, call {@link ChronicleQueue#createPretoucher()}
 * 
 * Upon invocation of the {@code execute()} method, this object will pre-touch pages in the supplied queue's underlying store file, attempting to keep
 * ahead of any appenders to the queue.
 * 

 * Resources held by this object will be released when the underlying queue is closed.
 * 
 * Alternatively, the {@code close()} method can be called to close the supplied queue and release any other resources. Invocation of the {@code
 * execute()} method after {@code close()} has been called will cause an {@code InvalidEventHandlerException} to be thrown.
