     *   accessed via the returned session.  As a result, devices excluded
     *   by the storage policy will not be searched when opening entries
     *   from the returned session.
     * @param streamBased - Indicates whether or not the data being cached
     *   can be represented as a stream.  The storagePolicy must be 
     *   consistent with the value of this field.  For example, a non-stream-
     *   based cache entry can only have a storage policy of STORE_IN_MEMORY.
