/**
* This annotation is used for components that will be registered in the {@link org.infinispan.factories.ComponentRegistry},
* that are meant to be retained in the component registry even after the component registry is stopped. Components
* annotated as such would not have to be recreated and rewired between stopping and starting a component registry.
* <br />
* As a rule of thumb though, use of this annotation on components should be avoided, since resilient components are
* retained even after a component registry is stopped and consume resources. Only components necessary for and critical
* to bootstrapping and restarting the component registry should be annotated as such.
