That was a good read. Compliments to the chefs.

It'd be helpful to have a couple of usage examples that illustrate common operations, like creating a file or finding and reading one, right after the high-level overview section. Just to get an idea what happens at the service level in these cases.

Yes, that would be very useful, we just didn't get to it and we didn't want perfect to be the enemy of good, since otherwise we would have never open sourced :).

But if we have the time it would definitely be a good addition to the docs.
