+/**
+ * {@code RangeReadable} is an interface that allows for implementations
+ * of {@link InputFile} streams to perform positional, range-based reads, which
+ * are more efficient than unbounded reads in many cloud provider object 
stores.
+ *
+ * Thread safety is not a requirement of the interface and is left to the
+ * implementation.
+ *
+ * If the implementation is also a {@link SeekableInputStream}, the position
+ * of the stream is not required to be updated based on the positional reads
+ * performed by this interface.  Usage of {@link SeekableInputStream} should
+ * always seek to the appropriate position for {@link java.io.InputStream}
+ * based reads.

Review Comment:
   We usually extend `Closeable` rather than `AutoCloseable`. That's because 
most places check for `Closeable` and we would rather always pass the check. 
Plus, `InputStream` implements `Closeable`.
