// <synopsis> 
// DataManager is the abstract base class for all kind of table data managers.
// <br> The DataManager class structure is shown in this
// <a href="DataManager.drawio.svg.html">UML diagram</a>.
// There are currently 2 classes of data managers:
// <ul>
//  <li> Storage managers handling the storage of data. These classes
//         have to be derived from DataManager.
//         StManAipsIO is an example of a storage manager.
//  <li> Virtual column engines handling the on-the-fly calculation
//         of data, which are not stored as such. The base class for
//         these is VirtualColumnEngine (which is derived from DataManager),
//         from which all virtual columns engine must be derived from.
// </ul>
// DataManager contains some common data and defines several virtual
// functions, which usually have to be implemented in the derived classes.
// It also contains some helper functions for the derived classes
// (like fileName().
//
// The actual handling of a column by the data manager is defined in
// the abstract base class
// <linkto class="DataManagerColumn:description">DataManagerColumn</linkto>.
// Each data manager must
// have an associated class (derived from DataManagerColumn) to
// handle the columns.
//
// There is a protocol defined how a data manager is created and
// initialized. For a new table it is:
// <ul>
//  <li>
//   The user creates data managers and binds them to columns. For example:
//   <srcblock>
//   SetupNewTable newtab("name.data", Table::New);  // set up new table
//   StManAipsIO stman;                       // define storage manager
//   newtab.bindColumn ("column1", stman);    // bind column to st.man.
//   newtab.bindColumn ("column2", stman);    // bind column to st.man.
//   Table tab(newtab);                       // actually create table
//   </srcblock>
//   When the given data manager object is used for the first time in a bind
//   function, a copy of the object is made using the clone function.
//   Thus in the above example column1 and column2 share the same data
//   manager; only at the first bind the stman object is cloned.
//   Columns not explicitly bound to a data manager get implicitly bound
//   to the default data manager (as defined in the column description)
//   by the Table constructor (as used in line 5).
//  <li>
//   After binding the unbound columns, the PlainTable constructor sets up
//   the data managers. For each column it asks the data manager to
//   construct a DataManagerColumn object (in fact, an object of a class
//   derived from DataManagerColumn). This is done by the functions
//   createScalarColumn, createIndArrColumn and createDirArrColumn.
//   For each data manager the create function is called. This allows
//   them to initialize themselves and/or to call an initialization
//   function in their column objects.
//   This is, for instance, used by the storage managers to create files.
//   Thereafter the prepare function is called to allow the data managers
//   to do further initialization possibly requiring information from
//   other columns.
//  <li>
//   When the table gets written (by the PlainTable destructor),
//   the flush function is called for each data manager. This allows
//   the data manager or their column objects to write or flush their data.
//   The table system takes care of storing the information required
//   to reconstruct the data managers. It uses the function dataManagerType
//   to store the (unique) type name of the data manager class.
//  <li>
//   Finally each data manager object gets deleted. Their destructors
//   must delete their column objects (if any and if needed).
// </ul>
// For an existing table the procedure is slightly different:
// <ul>
//  <li>
//   The statement
//   <br><src> Table tab("name.data"); </src>
//   will create a table object for an existing table. This has the effect
//   that the given table file will be read to reconstruct the Table object
//   and the data managers.
//  <li>
//   The stored data manager class names are used to reconstruct
//   the data managers. This uses the static registration map, which
//   maps the class name to a static class constructor function (usually
//   called makeObject). This requires that the type name and constructor
//   for each possible data manager are registered before the table
//   is opened. The DataManager function registerMainCtor (implemented
//   in DataManager.cc) is called before a table is opened, so registration
//   of data managers should, in principle, be done there.
//   <br>However, for unknown data managers it is tried to load a shared
//   library whose name is the lowercase version of the data manager without a
//   possible template argument (e.g. <src>bitflagsengine</src> for
//   data manager <src>BitFlagsEngine<Int></src>).
//   It can be preceeded by lib or libcasa_ and followed by .so or .dylib.
//   The shared library has to have a function with a name like
//   <src>register_bitflagsengine</src> that must register the data manager(s).
//   The function must be declared as <src>extern "C"</src>, otherwise its
//   name gets mangled.
//  <li>
//   Each table column is bound to the correct data manager. The sequence
//   number stored in the table file is used for that purpose.
//  <li>
//   The DataManager createXXXColumn functions are called for each table
//   column to let the data manager construct a data manager column object.
//  <li>
//   For each data manager the open function is called to allow it and
//   its column objects to read back the information stored in the
//   flush function.
//   Thereafter the prepare function is called for each data manager
//   to allow it to initialize some variables.
//   The reason that open and prepare are separated is that in order to
//   initialize variables it may be required to use other columns.
//   So it may be needed that all columns are read back before they
//   get initialized.
//  <li>
//   Similar to a new table the flush functions gets called when the
//   table gets written. Destruction is also the same as sketched
//   for new tables.
// </ul>
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// An abstract base class is needed to support data managers and
// virtual column engines in the table system in a transparant way.
// </motivation>

// <todo asof="$DATE:$">
//# A List of bugs, limitations, extensions or planned refinements.
//  <li> Handle unregistered data managers in a better way.
//         Instead of throwing an exception a subprocess could be
//         started which represents the data manager.
