* - Discard State: The {@link #discardState()} method defines how state is permanently
* disposed/deleted. After that method call, state may not be recoverable any more.
* - Close the current state access: The {@link #close()} method defines how to
* stop the current access or recovery to the state. Called for example when an operation is
* canceled during recovery.
