+ * All operations on the data tree are performed via one of the transactions: + *

+ * + *

+ * These transactions provide a stable isolated view of data tree, which is + * guaranteed to be not affected by other concurrent transactions, until + * transaction is committed. + * + *

+ * For a detailed explanation of how transaction are isolated and how transaction-local + * changes are committed to global data tree, see + * {@link AsyncReadTransaction}, {@link AsyncWriteTransaction}, + * {@link AsyncReadWriteTransaction} and {@link AsyncWriteTransaction#commit()}. + * + * + *

+ * It is strongly recommended to use the type of transaction, which + * provides only the minimal capabilities you need. This allows for + * optimizations at the data broker / data store level. For example, + * implementations may optimize the transaction for reading if they know ahead + * of time that you only need to read data - such as not keeping additional meta-data, + * which may be required for write transactions. + * + *

+ * Implementation Note: This interface is not intended to be implemented + * by users of MD-SAL, but only to be consumed by them. + * + * @param

+ * Type of path (subtree identifier), which represents location in + * tree + * @param + * Type of data (payload), which represents data payload + */ public interface AsyncDataBroker
