/**
 * Represents an entire persisted Brooklyn management context, with all its entities and locations.
 * 
 * The referential integrity of this memento is not guaranteed. For example, an entity memento might
 * reference a child entity that does not exist. This is an inevitable consequence of not using a
 * stop-the-world persistence strategy, and is essential for a distributed brooklyn to be performant.
 * 
 * Code using this memento should be tolerant of such inconsistencies (e.g. log a warning about the 
 * missing entity, and then ignore dangling references when constructing the entities/locations, so
 * that code will not subsequently get NPEs when iterating over children for example).
