/**
 * @class TAO_Persistent_Context_Index
 *
 * @brief This class facilitates implementation of Persistent
 * Naming Service.  It keeps track, centrally, of several pieces of
 * info for each Persistent Naming Context, allowing to perform the
 * initialization necessary for each Naming Context to
 * restore the state of the Naming Service from persistent storage
 * on server start-up.
 *
 * This class creates a memory-mapped file, allocates a hash
 * table from that file, and uses the hash table to store POA id,
 * and table and counter pointers for each Persistent Naming
 * Context.  There are methods for adding and deleting entries
 * from this hash table as new Persistent Naming Contexts are
 * created and old ones are destroyed.  This hash table
 * facilitates Persistent Naming Context servant initialization
 * upon Naming Server start-up.
