/**
* A Coordination object is used to coordinate a number of independent
* Participants.
*
*
* Once a Coordination is {@link Coordinator#create(String, long) created}, it
* can be used to add {@link Participant} objects. When the Coordination is
* ended, the participants are {@link Participant#ended(Coordination) notified}.
* A Coordination can also fail for various reasons. When this occurs, the
* participants are {@link Participant#failed(Coordination) notified} of the
* failure.
*
*
* A Coordination must be in one of two states, either ACTIVE or TERMINATED. The
* transition between ACTIVE and TERMINATED must be atomic, ensuring that a
* Participant can be guaranteed of either receiving an exception when adding
* itself to a Coordination or of receiving notification the Coordination has
* terminated.
*
*
* A Coordination object is thread safe and can be passed as a parameter to
* other parties regardless of the threads these parties use.
*
*
* The following example code shows how a Coordination should be used.
*
*
* void foo() {
* Coordination c = coordinator.create("work", 0);
* try {
* doWork(c);
* }
* catch (Exception e) {
* c.fail(e);
* }
* finally {
* c.end();
* }
* }
