/**

 * <UL>
 *     <LI>{@link io.nosqlbench.virtdata.predicates.ast.PredicateExpr} - an
 *     abstract syntax which captures the range of predicate forms which are supported.</LI>
 *     <LI>{@link io.nosqlbench.virtdata.predicates.types.PredicateAdapter} - an
 *     adapter type which can allow individual driver adapters to create a compatible
 *     predicate clause or expression object from a
 *     {@link io.nosqlbench.virtdata.predicates.ast.PredicateExpr}</LI>
 *     <LI>{@link io.nosqlbench.virtdata.predicates.types.PredicateSerDes}
 *     - serialization and deserialization functionality which allows
 *     the core machinery of NB to read the common format to and from the
 *     {@link io.nosqlbench.virtdata.predicates.ast.PredicateExpr} form.</LI>
