/**
 * To allow unit of work for the {@link UnitOfWork} while processing a number of {@link Exchange}s.
 * 
 * A sub unit of work is a way of implement sub-transactions in Camel routing.
 * This is needed by some EIPs where you can have sub routes such as the Splitter.
 * The Camel end user may want to indicate that the Splitter should act as a
 * single combined unit of work.
 * 

 * To implement this, we use this {@link SubUnitOfWorkCallback}
 * which allows us to have the sub routes participate in a {@link SubUnitOfWork}
 * And then the outcome of the {@link SubUnitOfWork} will be a single atomic commit or rollback.
 * 
 * When using a {@link SubUnitOfWork} we need to tap into the sub routes, and ensure they callback with the progress
 * of the sub {@link Exchange} being processed. For example the error handler, we need to tap into, and
 * ensure that any exhausted sub {@link Exchange} is propagated into the result of the {@link SubUnitOfWork}.
 * This {@link SubUnitOfWorkCallback} allows us to do that.
