-/**
- *
- * For accessing and manipulating the graph data in synchronous manner. A client
- * receives ReadGraph instances for performing requests in {@link Read} and
- * {@link MultiRead} as well as for reacting to request results using
- * {@link SyncProcedure}, {@link SyncListener}, {@link SyncMultiProcedure},
- * {@link SyncMultiListener} and {@link SyncSetListener}
- *
- * ReadGraph instances are stateful and may not be stored and used outside the
- * supplier method activation. The methods receiving ReadGraph should not block
- * for long periods of time since that may delay the processing of other
- * requests. For an asynchronous counterpart with the same functionality as
- * ReadGraph see {@link AsyncReadGraph}
- *
- *
- * All collections returned by the methods on this interface must not be
- * modified by clients unless explicitly stated otherwise.
