Comment:

 Hrmm, I just realized that we'll have to implement #22514 before we can
 get to this ticket.  Right now, `readDescriptors(File...)` uses the `int`
 value set in `setMaxDescriptorFilesInQueue(int)` as maximum queue size,
 which is wrong.  We'll need either a `setMaxDescriptorsInQueue(int)` or
 the suggested `setMaxRawDescriptorBytesInQueue(long)` before we can merge
 this branch.  So, let's work on #22514 first!

 (In the meantime it would still be useful to know whether the new
 interface will work with CollecTor's sync part!)
