/**
* Feature transfer managers extend the functionality of regular {@link TransferManager TransferManagers}
* by adding special behavior (such as path awareness, transaction awareness or retriability).
*
* <p>A feature transfer manager is typically instantiated by the {@link TransferManagerFactory} and is
* wrapped around the original plugin transfer manager. Its methods always call the underlying (or
* original) transfer manager or perform the actual action.
*
* <p>Each feature transfer manager <b>must</b> have the following constructor signature, in this example
* for the the <code>PathAware</code> feature:
*
* <pre>
* public PathAwareFeatureTransferManager(TransferManager originalTransferManager,
* ransferManager underlyingTransferManager, Config config, PathAware pathAwareAnnotation);
* </pre>
