/**

* Lightning Memory Database (LMDB) for Java (LmdbJava).

*

* <p>LmdbJava is intended for extremely low latency use cases. Users are required to understand and

* comply with the LMDB C API contract (eg handle usage patterns, thread binding, process rules).

*

* <p>Priorities:

*

* <ol>

* <li>Minimize latency, particularly on any critical path (see below)

* <li>Preserve the LMDB C API model as far as practical

* <li>Apply Java idioms only when not in conflict with the above

* <li>Fully encapsulate (hide) the native call library and patterns

* <li>Don't require runtime dependencies beyond the native call library

* <li>Support official JVMs running on typical 64-bit operating systems

* <li>Prepare for Java 9 (eg Unsafe, native call technology roadmap etc)

* </ol>

*

* <p>Critical paths of special latency focus:

*

* <ul>

* <li>Releasing and renewing a read-only transaction

* <li>Any operation that uses a cursor

* </ul>

*

* <p>The classes in LmdbJava DO NOT provide any concurrency guarantees. Instead you MUST observe

* LMDB's specific thread rules (eg do not share transactions between threads). LmdbJava does not

* shield you from these requirements, as doing so would impose locking overhead on use cases that

* may not require it or have already carefully implemented application threading (as most low

* latency applications do to optimize the memory hierarchy, core pinning etc).

*

* <p>Most methods in this package will throw a standard Java exception for failing preconditions

* (eg {@link NullPointerException} if a mandatory argument was missing) or a subclass of {@link

* LmdbException} for precondition or LMDB C failures. The majority of LMDB exceptions indicate an

* API usage or {@link Env} configuration issues, and as such are typically unrecoverable.
