// Package:    ConditionDBWriter
// Class:      ConditionDBWriter
// 
// \class ConditionDBWriter 
//
//  Description: 

//  Implementation:

// This class can be very useful whenever a CMSSW application needs to store data
// to the offline DB. Typically such applications require access to event data 
// and/or need to be notified about the start of Run, Lumi section in order 
// to set a correct Interval Of Validity (IOV) for the data they have to store.
// Therefore the FWK EDAnalyzer is an excellent candidate for the implementation
// of such applications; this is the reason why this class inherits from 
// the EDAnalyzer class. 

// The user class should inherit from this class. 
// The templated type must be the type of the object that
// has to be written on the DB (e.g. MyCalibration). Examples of use of
// this class can be found in package CalibTracker/SiStripChannelGain. Have a
// look also at the test/ directory for examples of full cfg files. 

// The user must implement in his derived class the abstract method below

// virtual MyCalibration * getNewObject()=0;

// in this method, the user must create a new instance of the DB object and 
// return a pointer to it. The object must be created with "new" and never 
// be deleted by the user: it will be the FWK that takes control over it.

// The user can optionally implement the following methods 

//   //Will be called at the beginning of the job
//   virtual void algoBeginJob(const edm::EventSetup&){};
//   //Will be called at the beginning of each run in the job
//   virtual void algoBeginRun(const edm::Run &, const edm::EventSetup &){};
//   //Will be called at the beginning of each luminosity block in the run
//   virtual void algoBeginLuminosityBlock(const edm::LuminosityBlock &, const edm::EventSetup &){};
//   //Will be called at every event
//   virtual void algoAnalyze(const edm::Event&, const edm::EventSetup&){};
//   //Will be called at the end of each run in the job
//   virtual void algoEndRun(const edm::Run &, const edm::EventSetup &){};
//   //Will be called at the end of the job
//   virtual void algoEndJob(){};

// where he can access information needed to build his object. For instance, if
// he is computing a calibration that is computed as the mean of a certain
// quantity that varies from event to event, he will implement the algoAnalyze 
// method.

// The important part is the IOV setting. The advantage of using this class is 
// that this setting is performed almost automatically: the only thing
// that the user has to do is to pass prescriptions about the IOV setting
// in the configuration of his module. A typical
// configuration is as follows:


//       module prod =  SiStripGainRandomCalculator {

//       #parameters of the derived class
//              double MinPositiveGain = 0.1
//              double MeanGain    = 1
//              double SigmaGain   = 0
//                 untracked bool   printDebug = true

//       #parameters of the base class
//              string IOVMode       = "Run"
//              bool SinceAppendMode = true
//              string Record        = "SiStripApvGainRcd"

//                }

// Two subsets of parameters can be found. The first subset contains the specific
// parameters of the user class, which is called in this case 
// SiStripGainRandomCalculator. The second subset contains the parameters of
// the base class. These are the following:

// 1) string IOVMode

// 4 possible values can be given: "Job", "Run", "LumiBlock" and "AlgoDriven"
// This card determines the length of the IOV. In other words, together with  
// the number of Lumysections/runs the user has decided to run his application,
// this card determines the number of objects that will be stored on the DB
// (the getNewObject method will be called as many times).
// For example if the user is running on the events of one Run, which has 
// 10 luminosity sections and chooses the "LumiBlock" mode, then 10 objects
// with corresponding IOV will be written. If the "Job" mode is chosen, only one 
// object will be stored irrespective of the dataset on which the user is 
// running.
// The  "AlgoDriven" option is special. If this choice is made, then it is 
// up to the user to tell in the code when the getNewObject method must be 
// called. This can be done by calling the method  below  void storeOnDbNow()
// must be invoked whenever a certain condition that justifies the start/end
// of an IOV is met.

// 2) bool SinceAppendMode

// If this card is set to true, new objects are appended to the chosen tag (
// to be specified in the configuration of the  PoolDBOutputService service,
// which must always be included in the cfg file of your application).
//     If instead this card is set to false, new objects are appended in till
//     mode. For example if the user runs on 2 Runs (1 to 2), chooses 
//     the "Run" IOVMode and the SinceAppendMode, then he will have two objects
//     stored on the DB, 
//     Object 1 valid for Run 1
//     Object 2 valid from Run 2 on (unless new objects are appended later)
//       If instead he had run in Till mode, then he would get two objects 
//     stored:
//     Object 1 valid for Run 1
//     Object 2 valid for Run 2 only.
    
//     WARNING: due to a current misfunctioning of the framework, if
//     the *Since* mode is chosen, then it is highly recommended to store objects 
//     in IOV chronological order. If you have 10 runs, then execute your application starting from run 1 and not for example in two steps: first from Run 6 to Run 10 and then from Run 1 to Run 6.
  

// 3)string Record 

// this is the eventsetup record of your object.
