 * The main role of GDS is the preparation and handing out of messages requested from
 * RsGeneralExchangeService and RsGeneralExchangeService
 * It is important to note that no actual messages are passed by this interface as its is expected
 * architecturally to pass messages to the service via a call back
 *
 * It also acts as a layer between RsGeneralStorageService and its parent RsGeneralExchangeService
 * thus allowing for non-blocking requests, etc.
 * It also provides caching ability
 *
 *
 * Caching feature:
 *   - A cache index should be maintained which is faster than normal message request
 *   - This should allow fast retrieval of message based on grp id or msg id
 *
 * Identity Exchange Service:
 *   - As this is the point where data is accessed by both the GNP and GXS the identities
 *     used to decrypt, encrypt and verify is handle here.
 *
 * Please note all function are blocking.
