// BMDB is the Bare Metal Database, a common schema to store information about
// bare metal machines in CockroachDB. This struct is supposed to be
// embedded/contained by different components that interact with the BMDB, and
// provides a common interface to BMDB operations to these components.
//
// The BMDB provides two mechanisms facilitating a 'reactive work system' being
// implemented on the bare metal machine data:
//
//   - Sessions, which are maintained by heartbeats by components and signal the
//     liveness of said components to other components operating on the BMDB. These
//     effectively extend CockroachDB's transactions to be visible as row data. Any
//     session that is not actively being updated by a component can be expired by a
//     component responsible for lease garbage collection.
//   - Work locking, which bases on Sessions and allows long-standing
//     multi-transaction work to be performed on given machines, preventing
//     conflicting work from being performed by other components. As both Work
//     locking and Sessions are plain row data, other components can use SQL queries
//     to exclude machines to act on by constraining SELECT queries to not return
//     machines with some active work being performed on them.

// Work starts work on a machine. Full work execution is performed in three

//  1. Retrieval phase. This is performed by 'fn' given to this function.
//     The retrieval function must return zero or more machines that some work
//     should be performed on per the BMDB. The first returned machine will be
//     locked for work under the given process and made available in the Work
//     structure returned by this call. The function may be called multiple times,
//     as it's run within a CockroachDB transaction which may be retried an
//     arbitrary number of times. Thus, it should be side-effect free, ideally only
//     performing read queries to the database.
//  2. Work phase. This is performed by user code while holding on to the Work
//     structure instance.
//  3. Commit phase. This is performed by the function passed to Work.Finish. See
//     that method's documentation for more details.
//
// Important: after retrieving Work successfully, either Finish or Cancel must be
// called, otherwise the machine will be locked until the parent session expires
// or is closed! It's safe and recommended to `defer work.Close()` after calling
// Work().
//
// If no machine is eligible for work, ErrNothingToDo should be returned by the
// retrieval function, and the same error (wrapped) will be returned by Work. In
// case the retrieval function returns no machines and no error, that error will
// also be returned.
//
