/**
 * Class to implement asynchronous notification of completion.
 *
 * Use-case: An "initiator" needs to wait for a set of "completers" to
 * finish a unit of work before an action can occur.  This object
 * tracks the progress of the set of completers, and allows the action
 * to occur once all completers have signalled that they are done.
 *
 * The initiator and completers may be running in separate threads.
 *
 * The initiating thread is the thread that initiates the action,
 * i.e. the connection read thread.
 *
 * A completing thread is any thread that contributes to completion,
 * e.g. a store thread that does an async write.
 * There may be zero or more completers.
 *
 * When the work is complete, a callback is invoked.  The callback
 * may be invoked in the Initiator thread, or one of the Completer
 * threads. The callback is passed a flag indicating whether or not
 * the callback is running under the context of the Initiator thread.
 *
 * Use model:
 * 1) Initiator thread invokes begin()
 * 2) After begin() has been invoked, zero or more Completers invoke
 * startCompleter().  Completers may be running in the same or
 * different thread as the Initiator, as long as they guarantee that
 * startCompleter() is invoked at least once before the Initiator invokes end().
 * 3) Completers may invoke finishCompleter() at any time, even after the
 * initiator has invoked end().  finishCompleter() may be called from any
 * thread.
 * 4) startCompleter()/finishCompleter() calls "nest": for each call to
 * startCompleter(), a corresponding call to finishCompleter() must be made.
 * Once the last finishCompleter() is called, the Completer must no longer
 * reference the completion object.
 * 5) The Initiator invokes end() at the point where it has finished
 * dispatching work to the Completers, and is prepared for the callback
 * handler to be invoked. Note: if there are no outstanding Completers
 * pending when the Initiator invokes end(), the callback will be invoked
 * directly, and the sync parameter will be set true. This indicates to the
 * Initiator that the callback is executing in the context of the end() call,
 * and the Initiator is free to optimize the handling of the completion,
 * assuming no need for synchronization with Completer threads.
