This file contains a new class `KVLookupBufferBase` that allows developers to
think of KV cache operations as inserting new KV cache entries (`insert`)
into the lookup buffer and querying existing KV caches (`drop_select`)
from the lookup buffer.
This file also contains a new class `KVStoreBufferBase` that allows developers
to manage the KVCache buffer as a simple key-value storage buffer with basic
put/get operations.
These classes above are abstracted behind class `KVCacheBufferBase`.

class KVLookupBufferBase(KVCacheBufferBase):
"""
Abstract base class for a KVCache lookup buffer.
This class provides an abstraction for a key-value (KV) cache lookup buffer.
The key of the lookup buffer:
- input_tokens: token IDs of the request
- roi: a binary mask on top of input_tokens.
- Purpose of roi: Since KV cache may only be available for a subset of
tokens in the input (for example, when vLLM is connected to an external
KV cache service), roi specifies the subset of tokens that the KV cache
is associated with.
- NOTE: roi can be further extended to describe which part of KV the
current process is holding (each process may only hold a part of KV
due to TP and PP). This is not implemented for now.
The value of the lookup buffer:
- key: the key tensor in the KV cache
- value: the value tensor in the KV cache
- hidden: the final hidden state generated by model forwarding. This allows
vLLM to bypass further model forwarding by transmitting the hidden state.

when offloading KV cache to KV cache storage service.
