/**
 * Determines the file names to use for primary and secondary databases.
 *
 * <p>Each {@link PrimaryIndex} and {@link SecondaryIndex} is represented
 * internally as a Berkeley DB {@link Database}.  The file names of primary and
 * secondary indices must be unique within the environment, so that each index
 * is stored in a separate database file.</p>
 *
 * <p>By default, the file names of primary and secondary databases are
 * defined as follows.</p>
 *
 * <p>The syntax of a primary index database file name is:</p>
 * <pre>   STORE_NAME-ENTITY_CLASS</pre>
 * <p>Where STORE_NAME is the name parameter passed to {@link
 * EntityStore#EntityStore EntityStore} and ENTITY_CLASS is name of the class
 * passed to {@link EntityStore#getPrimaryIndex getPrimaryIndex}.</p>
 *
 * <p>The syntax of a secondary index database file name is:</p>
 * <pre>   STORE_NAME-ENTITY_CLASS-KEY_NAME</pre>
 * <p>Where KEY_NAME is the secondary key name passed to {@link
 * EntityStore#getSecondaryIndex getSecondaryIndex}.</p>
 *
 * <p>The default naming described above is implemented by the built-in {@link
 * DatabaseNamer#DEFAULT} object.  An application may supply a custom {@link
 * DatabaseNamer} to overrride the default naming scheme.  For example, a
 * custom namer could place all database files in a subdirectory with the name
 * of the store.  A custom namer could also be used to name files according to
 * specific file system restrictions.</p>
 *
 * <p>The custom namer object must be an instance of the {@code DatabaseNamer}
 * interface and is configured using {@link StoreConfig#setDatabaseNamer
 * setDatabaseNamer}.</p>
 *
 * <p>When copying or removing all databases in a store, there is one further
 * consideration.  There are two internal databases that must be kept with the
 * other databases in the store in order for the store to be used.  These
 * contain the data formats and sequences for the store.  Their entity class
 * names are:</p>
 *
 * <pre>   com.sleepycat.persist.formats</pre>
 * <pre>   com.sleepycat.persist.sequences</pre>
 *
 * <p>With default database naming, databases with the following names will be
 * present each store.</p>
 *
 * <pre>   STORE_NAME-com.sleepycat.persist.formats</pre>
 * <pre>   STORE_NAME-com.sleepycat.persist.sequences</pre>
 *
 * <p>These databases must normally be included with copies of other databases
 * in the store.  They should not be modified by the application.</p>
