/**
* A synchronization context used to coordinate concurrent access to artifacts or metadatas. The typical usage of a
* synchronization context looks like this:
*
*
* SyncContext syncContext = repositorySystem.newSyncContext( ... );
* try {
* syncContext.acquire( artifacts, metadatas );
* // work with the artifacts and metadatas
* } finally {
* syncContext.close();
* }
*
*
* Within one thread, synchronization contexts may be nested which can naturally happen in a hierarchy of method calls.
* The nested synchronization contexts may also acquire overlapping sets of artifacts/metadatas as long as the following
* conditions are met. If the outer-most context holding a particular resource is exclusive, that resource can be
* reacquired in any nested context. If however the outer-most context is shared, the resource may only be reacquired by
* nested contexts if these are also shared.
*
* A synchronization context is meant to be utilized by only one thread and as such is not thread-safe.
*
* Note that the level of actual synchronization is subject to the implementation and might range from OS-wide to none.
*
* @see RepositorySystem#newSyncContext(RepositorySystemSession, boolean)
