/**
 * The MDC class is similar to the {@link NDC} class except that it is based on a map instead of a stack. It provides
 * <em>mapped diagnostic contexts</em>. A
 * <em>Mapped Diagnostic Context</em>, or MDC in short, is an instrument for
 * distinguishing interleaved log output from different sources. Log output is typically interleaved when a server
 * handles multiple clients near-simultaneously.
 *
 * <p>
 * <b><em>The MDC is managed on a per thread basis</em></b>. A child thread
 * automatically inherits a <em>copy</em> of the mapped diagnostic context of its parent.
 *
 * <p>
 * The MDC class requires JDK 1.2 or above. Under JDK 1.1 the MDC will always return empty values but otherwise will not
 * affect or harm your application.
