/**
 * Helper class for resolving component dependencies.
 *
 * The resolver is configured to resolve named dependencies by specific locator.
 * During deployment the dependency locator can be changed.
 *
 * This mechanism can be used to clarify specific dependency among several alternatives.
 * Typically components are configured to retrieve the first dependency that matches
 * logical group, type and version. But if container contains more than one instance
 * and resolution has to be specific about those instances, they can be given a unique
 * name and dependency resolvers can be reconfigured to retrieve dependencies by their name.
 *
 * ### Configuration parameters ###
 *
 * dependencies:
 * - [dependency name 1]: Dependency 1 locator (descriptor)
 * - ...
 * - [dependency name N]: Dependency N locator (descriptor)
 *
 * ### References ###
 *
 * References must match configured dependencies.
 *
 * ### Example ###
 *
 *     class MyComponent: IConfigurable, IReferenceable {
 *         private _dependencyResolver: DependencyResolver = new DependencyResolver();
 *         private _persistence: IMyPersistence;
 *         ...
 *
 *         public constructor() {
 *             this._dependencyResolver.put("persistence", new Descriptor("mygroup", "persistence", "*", "*", "1.0"));
 *         }
 *
 *         public configure(config: ConfigParams): void {
 *             this._dependencyResolver.configure(config);
 *         }
 *
 *         public setReferences(references: IReferences): void {
 *             this._dependencyResolver.setReferences(references);
 *             this._persistence = this._dependencyResolver.getOneRequired<IMyPersistence>("persistence");
 *         }
 *     }
 *
 *     // Create mycomponent and set specific dependency out of many
 *     let component = new MyComponent();
 *     component.configure(ConfigParams.fromTuples(
 *         "dependencies.persistence", "mygroup:persistence:*:persistence2:1.0"
 *     // Override default persistence dependency
 *     ));
 *     component.setReferences(References.fromTuples(
 *         new Descriptor("mygroup","persistence","*","persistence1","1.0"), new MyPersistence(),
 *         new Descriptor("mygroup","persistence","*","persistence2","1.0"), new MyPersistence()
 *     // This dependency shall be set
 *     ));
