Abstract class to perform matching of persisted topics based on properties. An extension of Matcher uses a programmer defined set of property keys to match values onto information in the database. These names are local to the class. Source code components using the matcher depend on the property names. Otherwise the names have no other effect or relationship in the system.
Comments
Most likely the property names in an extension of Matcher will have some similarity to serialization names, but this is not a must, nor should it be assumed.
