/**
 * <p>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 map-wide operations. This
 * kind of operations possibly run on multiple map entries, 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 an operation on a single entry
 * like 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 its
 * sub-interfaces to receive a corresponding event.
