* be used to retrieve the value; 2) key is a prefix and has children.
* PropertyStore.getPropertyNames(key) must be used to retrieve all the children keys.
* Its important to know that PropertyStore will not be able to provide the
* delta[old value,new value] or which child was added/deleted. The
* implementation must take care of the fact that there might be callback for
* every child thats added/deleted. General way applications handle this is
* keep a local cache of keys and compare against the latest keys.
