// CoreData expects loadMetadata: to validate that the URL used to create the store is usable
// (location exists, is writable (if applicable), schema is compatible, etc) and return an 
// error if there is an issue. 
// Any subclass of NSIncrementalStore which is file-based must be able to handle being initialized
// with a URL pointing to a zero-length file. This serves as an indicator that a new store is to be
// constructed at the specified location and allows applications using the store to securly create
// reservation files in known locations.

// API methods that must be overriden by a subclass:

// Return a value as appropriate for the request, or nil if the request cannot be completed.
// If the request is a fetch request whose result type is set to one of NSManagedObjectResultType, 
// NSManagedObjectIDResultType, NSDictionaryResultType, return an array containing all objects
// in the store matching the request.
// If the request is a fetch request whose result type is set to NSCountResultType, return an 
// array containing an NSNumber of all objects in the store matching the request.
// If the request is a save request, the result should be an empty array. Note that 
// save requests may have nil inserted/updated/deleted/locked collections; this should be
// treated as a request to save the store metadata.
// Note that subclasses of NSIncrementalStore should implement this method conservatively, 
// and expect that unknown request types may at some point be passed to the 
// method. The correct behavior in these cases would be to return nil and an error.
