+/**
+ * <p></p>
+ * A clustered Entity is something which is shared by multiple applications across a cluster. An Entity has a type
+ * and an identifier.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The type describes the type of the Entity where examples of a type maybe "openflow" or "netconf"
+ * etc. An Entity type could be tied to how exactly an application shares and "owns" an entity. For example we may want
+ * an application which deals with the openflow entity to be assigned ownership of that entity based on a first come
+ * first served basis. On the other hand for netconf entity types we may want applications to gain ownership based on
+ * a load balancing approach. While this mechanism of assigning a ownership acquisition strategy is not finalized the
+ * intention is that the entity type will play a role in determining the strategy and thus should be put in place.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The identifier is a YangInstanceIdentifier. The reason for the choice of YangInstanceIdentifier is because it
+ * can easily be used to represent a data node. For example an inventory node represents a shared entity and it is best
+ * referenced by the YangInstanceIdentifier if the inventory node stored in the data store.
+ * </p>
