+/**
+ * Abstraction for a local key/value store for storing app data.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * There are two main features provided by the implementations of this
interface:
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <h3>Serialization</h3>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * If the underlying data store requires serialization, data will be
serialized to and deserialized
+ * using a {@link KVStoreSerializer}, which can be customized by the
application. The serializer is
+ * based on Jackson, so it supports all the Jackson annotations for
controlling the serialization of
+ * app-defined types.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Data is also automatically compressed to save disk space.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <h3>Automatic Key Management</h3>

First, you do realize this PR has been merged a long time ago, right?
Automatic means you don't have to manually create keys. You're writing
objects to the store, not calling something like `.put(key, object)`.
