/**
* This interface defines a set of methods that are available for objects that
* may be used to communicate with an LDAP directory server. This can be used
* to facilitate development of methods which can be used for either a single
* LDAP connection or an LDAP connection pool. Note that this interface does
* not include support for bind or extended operations, as they may alter the
* state of the underlying connection (or connection-like object), and care must
* be taken when invoking such operations. The {@link FullLDAPInterface}
* interface is a subclass of this interface that does include support for
* bind and extended operations, but those methods should be used with care to
* ensure that they do not inappropriately alter the state of the associated
* object.
*
* At present, all implementations provided by the LDAP SDK are at least mostly
* threadsafe and can be used to process multiple requests concurrently.
* However, this is not a hard requirement and it is conceivable that in the
* future a new implementation could be added which is not inherently
* threadsafe. It is recommended that code which requires thread safety either
* provide their own external synchronization or use one of the subclasses which
* explicitly provides thread safety rather than relying on this generic
* interface.
