Interface Version

All Known Implementing Classes:
VectorClock

public interface Version

An interface that allows us to determine if a given version happened before or after another version. This could have been done using the comparable interface but that is confusing, because the numeric codes are easily confused, and because concurrent versions are not necessarily "equal" in the normal sense.
