/// interface to store and fetch its configuration from the databases.
/// This is because each Kea server uses a different set of

/// API to store and fetch configuration information from a database.
/// Such implementation is called configuration backend. Each
/// configuration backend faciliates a single database type, e.g. MySQL
/// database. In order to support multiple database types, i.e. MySQL,
/// Postgres, Cassandra, each Kea server will have to implement
/// 3 separate configuration backends, one for each database type.
