Overview

This file serves mostly as a specification for Storage engines. There is no requirement that storage engines must be a subclass of this class. However, any storage engine must conform to the following interface:

The storage engine must respond to store!, taking an uploader object and a CarrierWave::SanitizedFile as parameters. This method should do something to store the given file, and then return an object.

The storage engine must respond to retrieve!, taking an uploader object and an identifier as parameters. This method should do retrieve and then return an object.

The objects returned by store! and retrieve! both must respond to identifier, taking no arguments. Identifier is a string that uniquely identifies this file and can be used to retrieve it later.
