/**
- * <b><u>ITmfTrace</u></b>
+ * The event stream structure in TMF. In its basic form, a trace has:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li> an associated Eclipse resource
+ * <li> a path to its location on the file system
+ * <li> the type of the events it contains
+ * <li> the number of events it contains
+ * <li> the time range (span) of the events it contains
+ * </ul>
+ * Concrete ITmfTrace classes have to provide a parameter-less constructor and
+ * an initialization method (<i>initTrace</i>) if they are to be opened from
+ * the Project View. Also, a validation method (<i>validate</i>) has to be
+ * provided to ensure that the trace is of the correct type.
+ * <p>
+ * A trace can be accessed simultaneously from multiple threads by various
+ * application components. To avoid obvious multi-threading issues, the trace
+ * uses an ITmfContext as a synchronization aid for its read operations.
+ * <p>
+ * A proper ITmfContext can be obtained by performing a seek operation on the
+ * trace. Seek operations can be performed for a particular event (by rank or
+ * timestamp) or for a plain trace location.
* <p>
+ * <b>Example 1</b>: Process a whole trace
+ * <pre>
+ * ITmfContext context = trace.seekEvent(0);
+ * ITmfEvent event = trace.getNext(context);
+ * while (event != null) {
+ * processEvent(event);
+ * event = trace.getNext(context);
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * <b>Example 2</b>: Process 50 events starting from the 1000th event
+ * <pre>
+ * int nbEventsRead = 0;
+ * ITmfContext context = trace.seekEvent(1000);
+ * ITmfEvent event = trace.getNext(context);
+ * while (event != null && nbEventsRead < 50) {
+ * nbEventsRead++;
+ * processEvent(event);
+ * event = trace.getNext(context);
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * <b>Example 3</b>: Process the events between 2 timestamps (inclusive)
+ * <pre>
+ * ITmfTimestamp startTime = ...;
+ * ITmfTimestamp endTime = ...;
+ * ITmfContext context = trace.seekEvent(startTime);
+ * ITmfEvent event = trace.getNext(context);
+ * while (event != null && event.getTimestamp().compareTo(endTime) <= 0) {
+ * processEvent(event);
+ * event = trace.getNext(context);
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * A trace is also an event provider so it can process event requests
+ * asynchronously (and coalesce compatible, concurrent requests).
+ * <p>
+ * </pre>
+ * <b>Example 4</b>: Process a whole trace (see ITmfEventRequest for variants)
+ * <pre>
+ * ITmfRequest request = new TmfEventRequest<MyEventType>(MyEventType.class) {
+ * @Override
+ * public void handleData(MyEventType event) {
+ * super.handleData(event);
+ * processEvent(event);
+ * }
+ * @Override
+ * public void handleCompleted() {
+ * finish();
+ * super.handleCompleted();
+ * }
+ * };
+ *
+ * fTrace.handleRequest(request);
+ * if (youWant) {
+ * request.waitForCompletion();
+ * }
+ * </pre>
