// A tensor bundle is a set of immutable persistent files storing a set of named
// tensors.  It is designed for checkpointing TensorFlow tensors.
//
// The paths of the managed files share a common prefix; e.g., with the prefix:
//   /fs/model/train/ckpt-step/ckpt
//
// the bundle may contain a metadata file, and sharded data files:
//   /fs/model/train/ckpt-step/
//       ckpt.index
//       ckpt.data-00000-of-00020
//       ckpt.data-00001-of-00020
//       ...
//       ckpt.data-00019-of-00020
//
// The ".index" file is a string-string immutable table
// (tensorflow::table::Table).  Each key is a name of a tensor and its value is
// a serialized BundleEntryProto.  Each BundleEntryProto describes the metadata
// of a tensor: which of the "data" files contains the content of a tensor, the
// offset into that file, checksum, some auxiliary data, etc.
//
// A tensor bundle can be accessed randomly using a BundleReader.  Usage:
//
//   BundleReader reader(env, "/fs/model/train/ckpt-step/ckpt");
//   reader.Lookup("name", &tensor);
//
// A tensor bundle can be built using BundleWriter.  Each BundleWriter builds a
// single data file bundle.  Multiple bundles can then be merged by
// MergeBundles() without reading and writing large chunk of data: it reads the
// metadata files and outputs a single merged metadata.  Typical usage:
//
//   worker 0:
//     BundleWriter writer(env, "/fs/model/train/ckpt-step/tmp/worker0-step");
//     writer.Add(...);  // Adds the tensors on this worker.
//     writer.Finish();  // Flushes.
//   worker 1:
//     BundleWriter writer(env, "/fs/model/train/ckpt-step/tmp/worker1-step");
//     writer.Add(...);
//     writer.Finish();
//   worker 2:
//     MergeBundles(env,
//       {"/fs/model/train/ckpt-step/tmp/worker0-step",
//        "/fs/model/train/ckpt-step/tmp/worker1-step"},
//       "/fs/model/train/ckpt-step/ckpt" /* merged prefix */);
