/**
 * This Appender writes logging events to a NoSQL database using a configured NoSQL provider. It requires
 * implementations of {@link NoSqlObject}, {@link NoSqlConnection}, and {@link NoSqlProvider} to "know" how to write
 * events to the chosen NoSQL database.
 * 
 * 
 * Two provider implementations are provided:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * MongoDB (org.mongodb:mongo-java-driver:3.0.4 or newer must be on the classpath)
 * 
 * Apache CouchDB (org.lightcouch:lightcouch:0.0.6 or newer must be on the classpath).
 * 
 * 
 * For examples on how to write your own NoSQL provider, see the simple source code for the MongoDB and CouchDB
 * providers.
 * 
 * 
 * @see NoSqlObject
 * @see NoSqlConnection
 * @see NoSqlProvider
