 * Used by Routing Driver to decide if a transaction should be routed to a write server or a read server in a cluster.
 * When running a transaction, a write transaction requires a server that supports writes.
 * A read transaction, on the other hand, requires a server that supports read operations.
 * This classification is key for routing driver to route transactions to a cluster correctly.
 * 
 * While any {@link AccessMode} will be ignored while running transactions via a driver towards a single server.
 * As the single server serves both read and write operations at the same time.
