/**
 * Can perform xattrs on {@link Path} objects, including the common {@link Path#getFastDigest}. Some
 * extensions to Bazel may allow this data to be retrieved in a different way than just accessing
 * the xattr on the filesystem: they may do bulk filesystem operations for a path/directory at once.
 *
 * <p>Warning! these methods are called both *before* and *after* an action executes on its output
 * files. Thus, implementations must not cache the value for output files or other files like those
 * in external repositories that are generated during the build. An implementation is free to cache
 * it for immutable source files for the duration of the build.
