Detailed Description

Definitions and prototypes for the DNX Registrar thread.

The purpose of this thread is to manage Worker Node registrations. When a Worker Node wants to receive ervice check jobs from the Scheduler Node, it must first register itself with the Scheduler Node by sending a TCP-based registration message to it.

The Registrar thread manages this registration process on behalf of the Scheduler.
