/**
* Classes offering a service infrastructure for Search.
*
* Entry point is the {@code ServiceManager} which allows to retrieve and release services. Services can be provided
* programmatically or discovered via Java's {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} mechanism.
*
* In order to be a service an interface must extend the {@code Service} interface.
* Optionally a service implementation can also implement {@code Startable} and/or {@code Stoppable} in order to get life cycle callbacks.
