+ * <code>merge(LogicalDatastoreType, Path, Object)</code>, <code>delete(LogicalDatastoreType, Path)</code> will fail

+ * Whether or not the commit is successful is determined by versioning of the data tree and validation of registered

+ * A successful commit produces implementation-specific {@link CommitInfo} structure, which is used to communicate
+ * post-condition information to the caller. Such information can contain commit-id, timing information or any

+ * @return a FluentFuture containing the result of the commit information. The Future blocks until the commit
