The advantage of using the cache approach is a transparent upgrade/downgrade story, making the feature easier to move to. However having out of date cache can come with a significant performance hit for process who expect an up to date cache but found none. In this case the file needs to be stored under `.hg/cache`. The "requirement" approach guarantee that the persistent nodemap is up to date. However, it comes with a less flexible activation story since an explicite upgrade is required. In this case the file can be stored in `.hg/store`. This wiki page is relevant to this questions: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ComputedIndexPlan So which one should we take? Another element came into plan, the persistent nodemap use the `add` method of the transaction, it is used to keep track of a file content before a transaction in case we need to rollback it back. It turns out that the `transaction.add` API does not support file stored anywhere than `.hg/store`. Making it support file stored elsewhere is possible, require a change in on disk transaction format. Updating on disk file requires… introducing a new requirements. As a result, we pick the second option "gating the persistent nodemap behind a new requirements".
