/// Trait for types implementing a record store.
///
/// There are two types of records managed by a `RecordStore`:
///
/// 1. Regular (value-)records. These records store an arbitrary value associated with a key which
/// is distributed to the closest nodes to the key in the Kademlia DHT as per the standard
/// Kademlia "push-model". These records are subject to re-replication and re-publication as
/// per the standard Kademlia protocol.
///
/// 2. Provider records. These records associate the ID of a peer with a key who can supposedly
/// provide the associated value. These records are mere "pointers" to the data which may be
/// followed by contacting these providers to obtain the value. These records are specific to
/// the libp2p Kademlia specification and realise a "pull-model" for distributed content. Just
/// like a regular record, a provider record is distributed to the closest nodes to the key.
