// watchCacheInterval serves as an abstraction over a source
// of watchCacheEvents. It maintains a window of events over
// an underlying source and these events can be served using
// the exposed Next() API. The main intent for doing things
// this way is to introduce an upper bound of memory usage
// for starting a watch and reduce the maximum possible time
// interval for which the lock would be held while events are
// copied over.

// The source of events for the interval is typically either
// the watchCache circular buffer, if events being retrieved
// need to be for resource versions > 0 or the underlying
// implementation of Store, if resource version = 0.

// Furthermore, an interval can be either valid or invalid at
// any given point of time. The notion of validity makes sense
// only in cases where the window of events in the underlying
// source can change over time - i.e. for watchCache circular
// buffer. When the circular buffer is full and an event needs
// to be popped off, watchCache::startIndex is incremented. In
// this case, an interval tracking that popped event is valid
// only if it has already been copied to its internal buffer.
// However, for efficiency we perform that lazily and we mark
// an interval as invalid iff we need to copy events from the
// watchCache and we end up needing events that have already
// been popped off. This translates to the following condition:
//  watchCacheInterval::startIndex >= watchCache::startIndex.
// When this condition becomes false, the interval is no longer
// valid and should not be used to retrieve and serve elements
// from the underlying source.

	startIndex int

	// of events. If the source of the events is the watchCache,
	// then this should be used modulo capacity.
