+/**
+ * <p>
+ * An API for accessing and processing data stored in a data source (usually a
+ * relational database) using the Java&trade; programming language. This API
+ * includes a framework whereby different drivers can be installed dynamically
+ * to access different data sources. This API is specifically geared for passing
+ * SQL statements to a database though it may be used for reading and writing
+ * data from/to any data source that has a tabular format.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This API differs from the API in {@link java.sql} in several ways.</p>
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Is asynchronous
+ * <li>Is geared toward high-throughput programs
+ * <li>Does not attempt to support every database feature
+ * <li>Does not attempt to abstract the database
+ * <li>Uses the builder pattern
+ * <li>Supports the fluent programming style
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * It is worth emphasizing that this API is an alternate to the {@link java.sql}
+ * API, not a replacement. There are many programs that can much more readily be
+ * written using the {@link java.sql} API as it has many features that are not
+ * available in this API. For example this API provides almost no mechanism for
+ * getting metadata.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This API is not an extension to the {@link java.sql} API. It an independent
+ * API and is used on its own without reference to java.sql. </p>
+ *
+ *
+ * <h3>Overview</h3>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The core feature of this API is that it is asynchronous. No method call will 
+ * wait for a network operation. </p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Possibly blocking actions are represented as {@link Operation}s. An
+ * application using the API creates and submits one or more {@link Operation}s.
+ * The driver executes these {@link Operation}s asynchronously, reporting their
+ * results via {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage}s. An application
+ * can respond to the results via the
+ * {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage}s or via callbacks that can be
+ * configured on many of the {@link Operation}s or both. Creating and submitting
+ * {@link Operation}s is strictly non-blocking. Handling the results of possibly
+ * blocking {@link Operation}s is done asynchronously. No application thread
+ * will ever block on a call to a method in this API.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * All {@link Operation}s provide a
+ * {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage}. The value of that
+ * {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage} is the value of the
+ * {@link Operation}, set when the {@link Operation} completes. Some
+ * {@link Operation}s provide callbacks for processing the result of the
+ * {@link Operation} independent of the
+ * {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage}. Those {@link Operation}s can
+ * be used for executing SQL that returns results of a specific type. For
+ * example SQL that returns a row sequence would be executed with a
+ * {@link RowOperation}. A {@link RowOperation} provides callbacks for
+ * processing each row and for collecting the results of processing the rows.
+ * Other {@link Operation}s are specialized for SQL that returns a count or that
+ * returns out parameters. The choice of {@link Operation} is dependent on the
+ * result to be processed and is independent of the particular kind of SQL
+ * statement.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * An {@link OperationGroup} encapsulates a group of {@link Operation}s and
+ * executes them using common attributes. An {@link OperationGroup} can be
+ * unconditional or conditional, sequential or parallel, dependent or
+ * independent, or any combination of these. Dependent/independent controls
+ * error handling. If one member of a dependent {@link OperationGroup} fails the
+ * remaining not-yet-executed members are completed exceptionally. If the
+ * {@link OperationGroup} is independent, the member {@link Operation}s are
+ * executed regardless of whether one or more fails.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * A {@link Connection} is itself an {@link OperationGroup} and so can be
+ * conditional, parallel, or independent, but by default is unconditional,
+ * sequential, dependent. While a {@link Connection} may be created with values
+ * other than the defaults, using the defaults is by far the most common case.
+ * The API provides convenience methods that support this case. Using these
+ * convenience methods is recommended in all but the most unusual circumstances.
+ * In particular making the {@link Connection} parallel introduces some
+ * challenges that would require a full understanding of the details of the API.
+ * It would almost certainly be better to create a parallel
+ * {@link OperationGroup} within the {@link Connection}.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <i>
+ * ISSUE: Should we disallow {@code Connection.parallel()}?</i></p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The {@link java.sql} API frequently provides many ways to do the same thing.
+ * This API makes no attempt to do this. For those capabilities this API
+ * supports, it frequently defines exactly one way to do something. Doing things
+ * another way, for example calling methods in a non-standard order, frequently
+ * results in an IllegalStateException. This approach is intended to make things
+ * simpler for both the user and the implementor. Rather than having to
+ * understand complicated interactions of many different components and methods
+ * executed in any order, the intent is that there is only one way to do things
+ * so only one path must be understood or implemented. Anything off that path is
+ * an error. While this requires a programmer to write code in one specific way
+ * it makes things easier on future maintainers of the code as the code will
+ * conform to the standard pattern. Similarly the implementation is simplified
+ * as only the standard use pattern is supported.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * One way this API simplifies things in to define types as single use. Many
+ * types are created, configured, used once, and are then no longer usable. Many
+ * configuration methods can be called only once on a given instance. Once an
+ * instance is configured it cannot be reconfigured. Once an instance is used it
+ * cannot be reused. This simplifies things by eliminating the need to
+ * understand and implement arbitrary sequences of method calls that reconfigure
+ * and reuse instances. Since objects are single use there is no expectation
+ * that an application cache or share {@link Operation}s.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * While the user visible types are single use, it is expected that an
+ * implementation will cache and reuse data and {@link Object}s that are worth
+ * the effort. Rather than attempt to guess what an implementation should reuse
+ * and capture that in the API, this API leaves it entirely up to the
+ * implementation. Since the API specifies very little reuse, an implementation
+ * is free to reuse whatever is appropriate. Since the pattern of use is
+ * strictly enforced figuring out how to reuse objects is greatly
+ * simplified.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The {@link java.sql} API provides many tools for abstracting the database,
+ * for enabling the user to write database independent code. This API does not.
+ * It is not a goal of this API to enable users to write database independent
+ * code. That is not to say it is not possible, just that this API does not
+ * provide tools to support such. Abstraction features typically impose
+ * performance penalties on some implementations. As this API is geared for
+ * high-throughput programs it avoids such abstractions rather than reduce
+ * performance.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * One such abstraction feature is the JDBC escape sequences. Implementing these
+ * features requires parsing the SQL so as to identify the escape sequences and
+ * then generating a new String with the vendor specific SQL corresponding to
+ * the escape sequence. This is an expensive operation. Further each SQL must be
+ * parsed whether it contains an escape sequence or not imposing the cost on all
+ * JDBC users, not just the ones who use escape sequences. The same is true of
+ * JDBC parameter markers. The SQL accepted by this API is entirely vendor
+ * specific, including parameter markers. There is no need for pre-processing
+ * prior to SQL execution substantially reducing the amount of work the
+ * implementation must do.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Note: It would be a reasonable future project to develop a SQL builder API
+ * that creates vendor specific SQL from some more abstract representation.</p>
+ *
+ * <h3>Execution Model</h3>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <i>This section describes the function of a conforming implementation. It is
+ * not necessary for an implementation to be implemented as described only that
+ * the behavior be the same.</i></p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * An {@link Operation} has an action and a
+ * {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage}. Some {@link Operation}s have
+ * some form of result processor.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * An {@link Operation} is executed by causing the action to be performed,
+ * processing the result of the action if there is a result processor, and
+ * completing the {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage} with the result
+ * of the result processor if there is one or with the result of the action if
+ * there is no result processor. If the action or the result processing causes
+ * an unhandled error the {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage} is
+ * completed exceptionally. The CompletionStage is completed asynchronously,
+ * as though it were created by calling an <i>async</i> method on 
+ * CompletionStage.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Performing the action may require one or more interactions with the database.
+ * These interactions may be carried out in parallel with processing the result.
+ * If the database result is ordered, that result is processed in that order.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * An {@link OperationGroup} has a collection of {@link Operation}s and
+ * optionally a condition. For a sequential {@link OperationGroup}
+ * {@link Operation}s are selected from the collection in the order they were
+ * submitted. For a parallel {@link OperationGroup} {@link Operation}s are
+ * selected from the collection in any order.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The action of an {@link OperationGroup} is performed as follows:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>
+ * If the {@link OperationGroup} has a condition, the value of the condition is
+ * retrieved. If the value is {@link Boolean#FALSE} the action is complete and
+ * the {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage} is completed with null. If
+ * the value completes exceptionally the action is complete and the
+ * {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage} is completed exceptionally
+ * with the same exception. If the condition value is {@link Boolean#TRUE} or
+ * there is no condition the {@link Operation}s in the collection are executed
+ * and their results processed. The action is complete when the
+ * {@link OperationGroup} is not held and all the {@link Operation}s have been
+ * executed.</li>
+ * <li>
+ * If the {@link OperationGroup} is parallel more than one {@link Operation} may
+ * be executed at a time.</li>
+ * <li>
+ * If the {@link OperationGroup} is dependent and an {@link Operation} completes
+ * exceptionally all {@link Operation}s in the collection that are yet to begin
+ * execution are completed exceptionally with a {@link SqlSkippedException}. The
+ * cause of that exception is the {@link Throwable} that caused the
+ * {@link Operation} to be completed exceptionally. If an {@link Operation} is
+ * in flight when another {@link Operation} completes exceptionally the in
+ * flight {@link Operation} may either be allowed to complete uninterrupted or
+ * it may be completed exceptionally. The {@link OperationGroup} is completed
+ * exceptionally with the {@link Throwable} that caused the {@link Operation} to
+ * complete exceptionally. Note: the {@link Operation} returned by
+ * {@link Connection#closeOperation} is never skipped, i.e. never completed
+ * exceptionally with {@link SqlSkippedException}. It is always executed.</li>
+ * <li>
+ * If the {@link OperationGroup} is independent and an {@link Operation}
+ * completes exceptionally all other {@link Operation}s are executed regardless.
+ * There is no result to be processed for an {@link Operation} that completed
+ * exceptionally. The {@link OperationGroup} is not completed exceptionally as
+ * the result of one or more {@link Operation}s completing exceptionally.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * A {@link Connection} is a distinguished {@link OperationGroup}. A
+ * {@link Connection} is executed upon being submitted.</p>
+ *
+ * <h3>Transactions</h3>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <i>This section describes the function of a conforming implementation. It is
+ * not necessary for an implementation to be implemented as described only that
+ * the behavior be the same.</i></p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * An implementation has only limited control over transactions. SQL statements
+ * can start, commit, and rollback transactions without the implementation
+ * having any influence or even being aware. This specification only describes
+ * the behavior of those transaction actions that are visible to and controlled
+ * by the implementation, i.e. the endTransaction {@link Operation}.
+ * Transaction actions caused by SQL may interact with actions controlled by the
+ * implementation in unexpected ways.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The creation of Operations and the subsequent execution of those Operations
+ * are separated in time. It is quite reasonable to determine that a transaction
+ * should commit after the Operation that ends the transaction is created.
+ * But if the execution of the transaction does not result in the expected results
+ * it might be necessary to rollback the transaction rather than commit it. This
+ * determination depends on the execution of the Operations long after the
+ * endTransaction Operation is created. To address this mismatch, the endTransaction Operation
+ * specified by this API is conditioned by a {@link Transaction}. It commits the 
+ * transaction by default, a {@link Transaction} will cause an endTransaciton
+ * {@link Operation} to commit the transaction but a Transaction can be set
+ * to rollback the transaction at any time before the endTransaction 
+ * {@link Operation} that references it is executed.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * An endTransaction Operation, like all Operations, is immutable once submitted.
+ * But an endTransaction Operation is created with a Transaction and that
+ * Transaction can be set to commit or rollback. A Transaction controls the
+ * endTransaction Operation created with it. Using this mechanism an
+ * error handler, result handler or other code can cause a subsequent endTransaction
+ * Operation to rollback instead of the default which is to commit.</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {@code
+ *   Transaction t = conn.getTransaction();
+ *   conn.countOperation(updateSql)
+ *       .resultProcessor( count -> { 
+ *           if (count > 1) t.setRollbackOnly(); 
+ *           return null; 
+ *       } )
+ *       .submit();
+ *   conn.commitMaybeRollback(t);
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * In this example if the update SQL modifies more than one row the result
+ * processor will set the Transaction to rollback only. When the endTransaction
+ * Operation submitted by commitMaybeRollback is executed it will cause
+ * the transaction to rollback.</p>
+ * 
+ *
+ * <h3>POJOs</h3>
+ * 
+ * <p><i>Does this feature carry its weight? It is a nice ease of use feature
+ * for hand written code but it is not of much valuable for framework code. It
+ * certainly is not strictly necessary. Arguably it should be removed.</i></p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This API supports setting and getting POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) as
+ * parameter values and results. This is not a comprehensive ORM (Object
+ * Relational Mapping). It is just a convenience.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * To set parameters of a SQL statement to the values of a POJO, the type of the
+ * POJO must be annotated with the @SqlParameter annotation. One or more public
+ * getter methods must be so annotated. The @SqlParameter annotation defines the
+ * parameter marker base name and SQL type. The call to the
+ * ParameterizedOperation.set method provides the POJO itself and the parameter
+ * marker prefix. The implementation binds the return value of the annotated
+ * method to the parameter identified by the parameter marker prefix prepended
+ * to the parameter marker base name.</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {@code
+ *   public class Employee {
+ *     private String name;
+ *     private String department;
+ *     \@SqlParameter("name", "VARCHAR")
+ *     public String getName() { return name; }
+ *     public String getDepartement() { return department; }
+ *     \@SqlColumns("name", "dept")
+ *     public static Employee createEmployee(String name, String department) {
+ *       Employee e = new Employee();
+ *       e.name = name;
+ *       e.department = department;
+ *       return e;
+ *     }
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   conn.countOperation("insert into emp values(:emp_name, :emp_dept)")
+ *       .set("emp_", employee);
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The above code fragment is identical to</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {@code
+ *    conn.countOperation("insert into emp values(emp_name, emp_dept)")
+ *       .set("emp_name", employee.getName(), JdbcType.VARCHAR);
+ *       .set("emp_dept", employee.getDepartment(), JdbcType.VARCHAR)
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The prefix may be the empty string but may not be null. IllegalStateException
+ * is thrown if a parameter is set more than once either by a POJO set or a
+ * single value set. Implementations may attempt to bind a parameter for every
+ * annotated getter method. An implementation is not required to check whether
+ * or not there is a parameter with the specified name. It is implementation
+ * dependent whether an annotated getter with no corresponding parameter is an
+ * error or not and whether the implementation or the database detect it if it
+ * is an error.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * To construct a POJO from the result of an Operation the type of the POJO must
+ * be annotated with @SqlColumns. The annotation may be applied to a public
+ * static factory method, a public constructor, or one or more public setter
+ * methods. If applied to setters, there must be a public zero-arg constructor
+ * or public static zero-arg factory method. The annotation provides the base
+ * names for column or out parameter marker that provides the value for the
+ * corresponding parameter or setter method. The get method call provides the
+ * prefix.</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * {@code
+ *     conn.rowOperation("select name, dept from emp")
+ *     .collect(Collector.of(
+ *         () -> new ArrayList(),
+ *         (l, r) -> { 
+ *             l.add(r.get("", Employee.class)); 
+ *         }
+ *         (l, r) -> l
+ *     ) )
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The above code fragment is identical to</p>

+ * it is implementation dependent which is used to construct a POJO. An
+ * implementation is not required to determine the best choice for any meaning
+ * of "best". An implementation my instead throw an exception if more than one
+ * alternative is annotated. If setters are annotated an implementation should
+ * call every annotated setter. It is implementation dependent whether it

+ * what is required and no more and to use exactly what is annotated and no more.
