All Known Implementing Classes:

BtreeFactory

public interface StorageFactory

For any implementation of Storage, the constructor is something like StorageImplementation(name). Different names represent different repositories. The meaning of "name" is implementation-defined. For btree it will be the base of the file name. This factory is used only to create instances of Storage. Methods to create and delete physical resources for the Storage, open and close the Storage etc. are defined in Storage interface.
