/**
 * A registry service that allows ONOS to register controllers and switches
 * in a way that is global to the entire ONOS cluster. The registry is the
 * arbiter for allowing controllers to control switches. 
 * 
 * The OVS/OF1.{2,3} fault tolerance model is a switch connects to multiple 
 * controllers, and the controllers send role requests to determine what their
 * role is in controlling the switch.
 * 
 * The ONOS fault tolerance model allows only a single controller to have 
 * control of a switch (MASTER role) at once. Controllers therefore need a 
 * mechanism that enables them to decide who should control a each switch.
 * The registry service provides this mechanism.
