28 * A synchronization context used to coordinate concurrent access to artifacts or metadatas. The typical usage of a
29 * synchronization context looks like this:
30 *
31 * <pre>
32 * SyncContext syncContext = repositorySystem.newSyncContext( ... );
33 * try {
34 * syncContext.acquire( artifacts, metadatas );
35 * // work with the artifacts and metadatas
36 * } finally {
37 * syncContext.close();
38 * }
39 * </pre>
40 *
41 * Within one thread, synchronization contexts may be nested which can naturally happen in a hierarchy of method calls.
42 * The nested synchronization contexts may also acquire overlapping sets of artifacts/metadatas as long as the following
43 * conditions are met. If the outer-most context holding a particular resource is exclusive, that resource can be
44 * reacquired in any nested context. If however the outer-most context is shared, the resource may only be reacquired by
45 * nested contexts if these are also shared.
46 * <p>
47 * A synchronization context is meant to be utilized by only one thread and as such is not thread-safe.
48 * <p>
49 * Note that the level of actual synchronization is subject to the implementation and might range from OS-wide to none.
