29   * This Appender writes logging events to a NoSQL database using a configured NoSQL provider. It requires
30   * implementations of {@link NoSqlObject}, {@link NoSqlConnection}, and {@link NoSqlProvider} to "know" how to write
31   * events to the chosen NoSQL database. Two provider implementations are provided: MongoDB
32   * (org.mongodb:mongo-java-driver:2.11.1 or newer must be on the classpath) and Apache CouchDB
33   * (org.lightcouch:lightcouch:0.0.5 or newer must be on the classpath). For examples on how to write your own NoSQL
34   * provider, see the simple source code for the MongoDB and CouchDB providers.
