Processor (server 6.6.2 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractProcessor, CompoundProcessor, ConditionalProcessor, DropProcessor, PipelineProcessor, TrackingResultProcessor
```
public interface Processor
```
A processor implementation may modify the data belonging to a document. Whether changes are made and what exactly is modified is up to the implementation. Processors may get called concurrently and thus need to be thread-safe.
