 * Retrieving an item will cause the \ref bucket Bucket backend associated
 * with the URI scheme in \c uri to be queried. If the Bucket backend
 * does not require an update, the cached information is used to find the
 * file associated with \c uri, and \c file_path is populated with the
 * location of the media file associated with \c uri.
 *
 * If the item is not in the cache, the item will be retrieved using the
 * \ref bucket backend. When this occurs, if \c preferred_file_name is given,
 * it will be used as the destination file for the retrieval. When retrieval
 * of the media from the backend is complete, \c file_path is then populated
 * as before.
