/**
* Base class for commands that make changes to rows exposed from a given
* query in a given schema. Clients should use {@link UpdateRowsCommand},
* {@link InsertRowsCommand} or {@link DeleteRowsCommand} and not this class directly.
*
* All three of these subclasses post similar JSON to the server, so this class
* does all the common work. The client must supply three things: the schemaName,
* the queryName and an array of 'rows' (i.e. Maps). The rows are added via
* the {@link #addRow(Map)} or {@link #setRows(List)} methods.
*
* All data exposed from the LabKey Server is organized into a set of queries
* contained in a set of schemas. A schema is simply a group of queries, identified
* by a name (e.g., 'lists' or 'study'). A query is particular table or view within
* that schema (e.g., 'People' or 'Peptides'). Currently, clients may update rows in
* base tables only, and not in joined views. Therefore the query name must be the
* name of a table in the schema.
*
* To view the schemas and queries exposed in a given folder, add a Query web part
* to your portal page and choose the option "Show the list of tables in this schema"
* in the part configuration page. Alternatively, if it is exposed, click on the Query
* tab across the top of the main part of the page.
*
* Examples:
*
* // May need to add CONTEXT_PATH for dev instances
* Connection cn = new Connection("http://localhost:8080", user, password);
*
* //Insert Rows Command
* InsertRowsCommand cmd = new InsertRowsCommand("lists", "People");
*
* Map<String, Object> row = new HashMap<String, Object>();
* row.put("FirstName", "Insert");
* row.put("LastName", "Test");
*
* cmd.addRow(row); //can add multiple rows to insert many at once
* SaveRowsResponse resp = cmd.execute(cn, "PROJECT_NAME");
*
* //get the newly-assigned primary key value from the first return row
* int newKey = resp.getRows().get(0).get("Key");
*
* //Update Rows Command
* UpdateRowsCommand cmdUpd = new UpdateRowsCommand("lists", "People");
* row = new HashMap<String, Object>();
* row.put("Key", newKey);
* row.put("LastName", "Test UPDATED");
* cmdUpd.addRow(row);
* resp = cmdUpd.execute(cn, "PROJECT_NAME");
*
* //Delete Rows Command
* DeleteRowsCommand cmdDel = new DeleteRowsCommand("lists", "People");
* row = new HashMap<String, Object>();
* row.put("Key", newKey);
* cmdDel.addRow(row);
* resp = cmdDel.execute(cn, "PROJECT_NAME");
