/**
 * A callback for events passing through the AsyncEventQueue to which this listener is
 * attached. Implementers of interface AsyncEventListener process batches of
 * AsyncEvent delivered by the corresponding AsyncEventQueue. 

 * A sample implementation of this interface is as follows: 

 * 
 *  * public class MyEventListener implements AsyncEventListener {
 *
 *   public boolean processEvents(List events) {
 *     for (Iterator i = events.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
 *       AsyncEvent event = (AsyncEvent) i.next();
 * 
 *       String originalRegionName = event.getRegion().getName();
 *       // For illustration purpose, use the event to update the duplicate of above region.
 *       final Region duplicateRegion =
 *           CacheHelper.getCache().getRegion(originalRegionName + "_DUP");
 * 
 *       final Object key = event.getKey();
 *       final Object value = event.getDeserializedValue();
 *       final Operation op = event.getOperation();
 * 
 *       if (op.isCreate()) {
 *         duplicateRegion.create(key, value);
 *       } else if (op.isUpdate()) {
 *         duplicateRegion.put(key, value);
 *       } else if (op.isDestroy()) {
 *         duplicateRegion.destroy(key);
 *       }
