/**
 * A container for data that is specific to a session.
 * All components may use this storage to associate arbitrary data with a session.
 * <p>
 * Unlike a cache, this session data is not subject to purging. For this same reason, session data should also not be
 * abused as a cache (i.e. for storing values that can be re-calculated) to avoid memory exhaustion.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> Actual implementations must be thread-safe.
