This class initializes RMR, starts a thread that checks for incoming
messages, provisions an SDL object and optionally creates a
config-file watcher. This private base class should not be
instantiated by clients directly, but it defines many public methods
that may be used by clients.
If environment variable CONFIG_FILE is defined, and that variable
contains a path to an existing file, a watcher is defined to monitor
modifications (writes) to that file using the Linux kernel's inotify
feature. The watcher must be polled by calling method
config_check().
Parameters
----------
rmr_port: int (optional, default is 4562)
Port on which the RMR library listens for incoming messages.
rmr_wait_for_ready: bool (optional, default is True)
If this is True, then init waits until RMR is ready to send,
which includes having a valid routing file. This can be set
to False if the client wants to *receive only*.
use_fake_sdl: bool (optional, default is False)
if this is True, it uses the DBaaS "fake dict backend" instead
of Redis or other backends. Set this to True when developing
an xapp or during unit testing to eliminate the need for DBaaS.
post_init: function (optional, default is None)
Runs this user-provided function at the end of the init method;
its signature should be post_init(self)

----------
namespace: string
SDL namespace

SDL key
value:
Object or byte array to store. See the `usemsgpack` parameter.

Determines whether the value is serialized using msgpack before storing.
If usemsgpack is True, the msgpack function `packb` is invoked

usemsgpack: boolean (optional, default is True)

"""
Represents an Xapp that reacts only to RMR messages; i.e., the Xapp
only performs an action when a message is received. Clients should
invoke the run method, which has a loop that waits for RMR messages
and calls the appropriate client-registered consume callback on each.
If environment variable CONFIG_FILE is defined, and that variable
contains a path to an existing file, this class polls a watcher
defined on that file to detect file-write events, and invokes a
configuration-change handler on each event. The handler is also
invoked at startup. If no handler function is supplied to the
constructor, this class defines a default handler that only logs a
message.
Parameters
----------
default_handler: function
A function with the signature (summary, sbuf) to be called when a
message type is received for which no other handler is registered.
default_handler argument summary: dict
The RMR message summary, a dict of key-value pairs
default_handler argument sbuf: ctypes c_void_p
Pointer to an RMR message buffer. The user must call free on this when done.
config_handler: function (optional, default is documented above)
A function with the signature (json) to be called at startup and each time
a configuration-file change event is detected. The JSON object is read from
the configuration file, if the prerequisites are met.
config_handler argument json: dict
The contents of the configuration file, parsed as JSON.
rmr_port: integer (optional, default is 4562)
Initialize RMR to listen on this port
rmr_wait_for_ready: boolean (optional, default is True)
Wait for RMR to signal ready before starting the dispatch loop
use_fake_sdl: boolean (optional, default is False)
Use an in-memory store instead of the real SDL service
post_init: function (optional, default None)
Run this function after the app initializes and before the dispatch loop starts;
its signature should be post_init(self)
