Modification (controller-docs 2.0.2 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

CompositeModification

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractModification, BatchedModifications, DeleteModification, MergeModification, MutableCompositeModification, WriteModification
```
public interface Modification
extends Externalizable
```
Represents a modification to the data store.
Simple modifications can be of type,
Modifications can in turn be lumped into a single CompositeModification which can then be applied to a write transaction.
