Interface IRevision

A revision comprises lists of files that come from different sources and need to be replicated together to e.g. guarantee that all resources are in sync. In most cases an application will replicate a single index, and so the revision will contain files from a single source. However, some applications may require to treat a collection of indexes as a single entity so that the files from all sources are replicated together, to guarantee consistency beween them. For example, an application which indexes facets will need to replicate both the search and taxonomy indexes together, to guarantee that they match at the client side.
