/**
* This package provides classes to create events and control Flight Recorder.
* <p>
* <b>Defining events</b>
* <p>
* Flight Recorder collects data as events. An event has a time stamp, duration
* and usually an application-specific payload, useful for diagnosing the
* running application up to the failure or crash.
* <p>
* To define a Flight Recorder event, extend {@link jdk.jfr.Event} and add
* fields that matches the data types of the payload. Metadata about fields,
* such as labels, descriptions and units, can be added by using the annotations
* available in the <code>jdk.jfr</code> package, or by using a user-defined
* annotation that has the {@link jdk.jfr.MetadataDefinition} annotation.
* <p>
* After an event class is defined, instances can be created (event objects).
* Data is stored in the event by assigning data to fields. Event timing can be
* explicitly controlled by using the <code>begin</code> and {@code end} methods
* available in the <code>Event</code> class.
* <p>
* Gathering data to store in an event can be expensive. The
* {@link Event#shouldCommit()} method can be used to verify whether an event
* instance would actually be written to the system when the
* {@code Event#commit()} method is invoked. If
* {@link Event#shouldCommit()} returns {@code false}, then those operations can be
* avoided.
* <p>
* Sometimes the field layout of an event is not known at compile time. In that
* case, an event can be dynamically defined. However, dynamic events might not
* have the same level of performance as statically defined ones and tools might
* not be able to identify and visualize the data without knowing the layout.
* <p>
* To dynamically define an event, use the {@link jdk.jfr.EventFactory} class
* and define fields by using the {@link jdk.jfr.ValueDescriptor} class, and
* define annotations by using the {@link jdk.jfr.AnnotationElement} class. Use
* the factory to allocate an event and the
* {@link jdk.jfr.Event#set(int, Object)} method to populate it.
* <p>
* <b>Controlling Flight Recorder</b>
* <p>
* Flight Recorder can be controlled locally by using the <code>jcmd</code>
* command line tool or remotely by using the <code>FlightRecorderMXBean</code>
* interface, registered in the platform MBeanServer. When direct programmatic
* access is needed, a Flight Recorder instance can be obtained by invoking
* {@link jdk.jfr.FlightRecorder#getFlightRecorder()} and a recording created by
* using {@link jdk.jfr.Recording} class, from which the amount of data to
* record is configured.
* <p>
* <b>Settings and configuration</b>
* <p>
* A setting consists of a name/value pair, where <em>name</em> specifies the
* event and setting to configure, and the <em>value</em> specifies what to set
* it to.
* <p>
* The name can be formed in the following ways:
* <p>
* {@code
* <event-name> + "#" + <setting-name>
* }
* <p>
* or
* <p>
* {@code
* <event-id> + "#" + <setting-name>
* }
* <p>
* For example, to set the sample interval of the CPU Load event to once every
* second, use the name {@code "jdk.CPULoad#period"} and the value
* {@code "1 s"}. If multiple events use the same name, for example if an event
* class is loaded in multiple class loaders, and differentiation is needed
* between them, then the name is {@code "56#period"}. The ID for an event is
* obtained by invoking {@link jdk.jfr.EventType#getId()} method and is valid
* for the Java Virtual Machine instance that the event is registered in.
* <p>
* A list of available event names is retrieved by invoking
* {@link jdk.jfr.FlightRecorder#getEventTypes()} and
* {@link jdk.jfr.EventType#getName()}. A list of available settings for an
* event type is obtained by invoking
* {@link jdk.jfr.EventType#getSettingDescriptors()} and
* {@link jdk.jfr.ValueDescriptor#getName()}.
* <p>
