/**
 * A <code>ChainingUserRegistrySynchronizer</code> is responsible for synchronizing Alfresco's local user (person) and
 * group (authority) information with the external subsystems in the authentication chain (most typically LDAP
 * directories). When the {@link #synchronize(boolean)} method is called, it visits each {@link UserRegistry} bean in
 * the 'chain' of application contexts, managed by a {@link ChildApplicationContextManager}, and compares its
 * timestamped user and group information with the local users and groups last retrieved from the same source. Any
 * updates and additions made to those users and groups are applied to the local copies. The ordering of each
 * {@link UserRegistry} in the chain determines its precedence when it comes to user and group name collisions. The
 * {@link JobLockService} is used to ensure that in a cluster, no two nodes actually run a synchronize at the same time.
 * <p>
 * The <code>force</code> argument determines whether a complete or partial set of information is queried from the
 * {@link UserRegistry}. When <code>true</code> then <i>all</i> users and groups are queried. With this complete set of
 * information, the synchronizer is able to identify which users and groups have been deleted, so it will delete users
 * and groups as well as update and create them. Since processing all users and groups may be fairly time consuming, it
 * is recommended this mode is only used by a background scheduled synchronization job. When the argument is
 * <code>false</code> then only those users and groups modified since the most recent modification date of all the
 * objects last queried from the same {@link UserRegistry} are retrieved. In this mode, local users and groups are
 * created and updated, but not deleted (except where a name collision with a lower priority {@link UserRegistry} is
 * detected). This 'differential' mode is much faster, and by default is triggered on subsystem startup and also by
 * {@link #createMissingPerson(String)} when a user is successfully authenticated who doesn't yet have a local person
 * object in Alfresco. This should mean that new users and their group information are pulled over from LDAP servers as
 * and when required.

     * @param allowDeletions
     *            Should a complete set of user and group IDs be queried from the user registries in order to determine
     *            deletions? This parameter is independent of <code>force</code> as a separate query is run to process
     *            updates.
     * @param splitTxns
     *            Can the modifications to Alfresco be split across multiple transactions for maximum performance? If
     *            <code>true</code>, users and groups are created/updated in batches for increased performance. If
     *            <code>false</code>, all users and groups are processed in the current transaction. This is required if
     *            calling synchronously (e.g. in response to an authentication event in the same transaction).
     * @param visitedZoneIds
     *            the set of zone ids already processed. These zones have precedence over the current zone when it comes
     *            to group name 'collisions'. If a user or group is queried that already exists locally but is tagged
     *            with one of the zones in this set, then it will be ignored as this zone has lower priority.
     * @param allZoneIds
     *            the set of all zone ids in the authentication chain. Helps us work out whether the zone information
     *            recorded against a user or group is invalid for the current authentication chain and whether the user
     *            or group needs to be 're-zoned'.
