public interface HGLiveHandle
extends HGHandle

A LiveHandle represents an in memory handle to a HyperGraph atom. It holds references to both the runtime object instance of the atom and its persistent handle.

An application should never rely on a concrete HGLiveHandle implementation since it will depend on the exact caching/memory management policy adopted.
