/**
* The DiscoveryStrategyFactory is the entry point for strategy vendors. Every
* {@link DiscoveryStrategy} should have its own factory building it. In rare cases (like
* multiple version support or similar) one factory might return different provider
* implementations based on certain criteria. It is also up to the DiscoveryStrategyFactory
* to cache instances and return them in some kind of a Singleton-like fashion.
*
* The defined set of configuration properties describes the existing properties inside
* of the Hazelcast configuration. It will be used for automatic conversion,
* type-checking and validation before handing them to the {@link DiscoveryStrategy}.
* This removes a lot of boilerplate from the provider vendor and provides some convenience as
* well as guarantee to execute the expected configuration checks. The later is especially
* important because there is no schema support for properties necessary or provided by the
* provider plugins. Any kind of violation while verification of any type conversion error
* as well as missing non-optional properties will throw an exception and prevent the node
* from starting up.
*
