+/**\r
+ * Two phase commit handler (cohort) of the two-phase commit protocol of data.\r
+ * \r
+ * <p>\r
+ * The provider should expose the implementation of DataCommitHandler if it's\r
+ * functionality depends on any subset of data stored in data repositories, in\r
+ * order to participate in {@link DataBrokerService#commit(DataStoreIdentifier)\r
+ * operation.\r
+ * \r
+ * <p>\r
+ * Operations of two-phase commit handlers should not change data in data store,\r
+ * this is responsibility of the coordinator (broker or some component of the\r
+ * broker).\r
+ * \r
+ * The commit handlers are responsible for changing the internal state of the\r
+ * provider to reflect the commited changes in data.\r
+ * \r
+ * <h3>Two-phase commit</h3>\r
+ * \r
+ * <h4>Commit Request Phase</h4>\r
+ * \r
+ * <ol>\r
+ * <li> <code>Consumer</code> edits data by invocation of\r
+ * <code>DataBrokerService.editCandidateData(DataStoreIdentifier, CompositeNodeModification)</code>\r
+ * <li> <code>Consumer</code> starts a commit by invoking\r
+ * <code>DataBrokerService.commit(DataStoreIdentifier)</code>\r
+ * <li> <code>Broker</code> retrieves a list of all registered\r
+ * <code>DataCommitHandlers</code>\r
+ * <li>For each <code>DataCommitHandler</code>\r
+ * <ol>\r
+ * <li><code>Broker</code> invokes a\r
+ * <code>DataCommitHandler.requestCommit(DataStoreIdentifier)</code> operation.\r
+ * <li><code>DataCommitHandler</code> returns a <code>RpcResult</code> with\r
+ * <code>CommitTransaction</code>\r
+ * <li>If the result was successful, broker adds <code>CommitTransaction</code>\r
+ * to the list of opened transactions. If not, brokers stops a commit request\r
+ * phase and starts a rollback phase.\r
+ * </ol>\r
+ * <li><code>Broker</code> starts a commit finish phase\r
+ * </ol>\r
+ * \r
+ * <h4>Commit Finish Phase</h4>\r
+ * \r
+ * <ol>\r
+ * <li>For each <code>CommitTransaction</code> from Commit Request phase\r
+ * <ol>\r
+ * <li><code>Broker</code> broker invokes a\r
+ * <code>CommitTransaction.finish()</code>\r
+ * <li>The provider finishes a commit (applies the change) and returns an\r
+ * <code>RpcResult</code>.\r
+ * </ol>\r
+ * <li>\r
+ * <ul>\r
+ * <li>If all returned results means successful, the brokers end two-phase\r
+ * commit by returning a success commit result to the Consumer.\r
+ * <li>If error occured, the broker starts a commit rollback phase.\r
+ * </ul>\r
+ * </ol>\r
+ * \r
+ * <h4>Commit Rollback Phase</h4>\r
+ * <li>For each <code>CommitTransaction</code> from Commit Request phase\r
+ * <ol>\r
+ * <li><code>Broker</code>\r
+ * \r
+ * broker invokes a {@link CommitTransaction#finish()}\r
+ * <li>The provider rollbacks a commit and returns an {@link RpcResult} of\r
+ * rollback. </ol>\r
+ * <li>Broker returns a error result to the consumer.\r
+ * \r

+ * The registration could be done by :\r
+ * <ul>\r
+ * <li>returning an instance of implementation in the return value of\r
+ * {@link Provider#getProviderFunctionality()}\r
+ * <li>passing an instance of implementation and {@link DataStoreIdentifier} of\r
