    022/**
    023 * <p>
    024 * A special implementation of {@code Synchronizer} based on the JDK's {@code ReentrantReadWriteLock} class.
    025 * </p>
    026 * <p>
    027 * This class manages a {@code ReadWriteLock} object internally. The methods of the {@code Synchronizer} interface are
    028 * delegated to this lock. So this class behaves in the same way as documented for {@code ReentrantReadWriteLock}.
    029 * </p>
    030 * <p>
    031 * Using this {@code Synchronizer} implementation is appropriate to make configuration objects thread-safe. This means
    032 * that multiple threads can read configuration data in parallel; if one thread wants to update the configuration, this
    033 * happens with an exclusive lock.
    034 * </p>
    035 *
    036 * @since 2.0
