## Interface ConfigPatternMatcher

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    LegacyMatchingPointConfigPatternMatcher, LegacyWildcardConfigPatternMatcher, MatchingPointConfigPatternMatcher, RegexConfigPatternMatcher, WildcardConfigPatternMatcher

      public interface ConfigPatternMatcher

  The ConfigPatternMatcher provides a strategy to match an item name to a configuration pattern.

  It is used on each Config.getXXXConfig() and ClientConfig.getXXXConfig() call for map, list, queue, set, executor, topic, semaphore etc., so for example `itemName` is the name of a map and `configPatterns` are all defined map configurations.

  If no configuration is found by the matcher it should return `null`. In this case the default config will be used for this item then. If multiple configurations are found by the matcher a `ConfigurationException` should be thrown.

  Since Hazelcast 3.5 the default matcher is `MatchingPointConfigPatternMatcher`.
