//  - `IDType` the type of the objects used to identify the managed streams.
//  - `CheckpointType` the type of the protobuf message written to checkpoint
//    the streams.
//  - `UpdateType` the type of the status updates that will be managed.

// This process does NOT garbage collect any checkpointed state. The users of it
// are responsible for the garbage collection of the status updates files.
