/**
* An object to lookup user and group principals by name. A {@link UserPrincipal}
* represents an identity that may be used to determine access rights to objects
* in a file system. A {@link GroupPrincipal} represents a <em>group identity</em>.
* A {@code UserPrincipalLookupService} defines methods to lookup identities by
* name or group name (which are typically user or account names). Whether names
* and group names are case sensitive or not depends on the implementation.
* The exact definition of a group is implementation specific but typically a
* group represents an identity created for administrative purposes so as to
* determine the access rights for the members of the group. In particular it is
* implementation specific if the <em>namespace</em> for names and groups is the
* same or is distinct. To ensure consistent and correct behavior across
* platforms it is recommended that this API be used as if the namespaces are
* distinct. In other words, the {@link #lookupPrincipalByName
* lookupPrincipalByName} should be used to lookup users, and {@link
* #lookupPrincipalByGroupName lookupPrincipalByGroupName} should be used to
* lookup groups.
