/**
* A marker interface which is used to get notified upon a map or an entry event.
* <p/>
* Specifically:
* <ul>
* <li>
* A map event is fired as a result of a map-wide operations like e.g. {@link com.hazelcast.core.EntryEventType#CLEAR_ALL}.
* {@link com.hazelcast.core.EntryEventType#EVICT_ALL}.
* </li>
* <li>
* An entry event is fired after the changes that affects a specific entry e.g. {@link com.hazelcast.core.EntryEventType#ADDED},
* {@link com.hazelcast.core.EntryEventType#UPDATED}
* </li>
* </ul>
* <p/>
* An implementer of this interface should extend one of the sub-interfaces of it
* to receive a corresponding event.
