  /**
   * Worker process and utils for working with the worker remotely.
   *
   * Main entry point for the worker is {@link alluxio.worker.AlluxioWorker#main}
   * which gets started by the alluxio start scripts. The {@link alluxio.worker.WorkerProcess}
   * spins up the different RPC services (gRPC, data) which are mostly wrappers around
   * {@link alluxio.worker.block.BlockWorker}.
   *
   * <h1>Services</h1>
   *
   * <h2>DataServer</h2>
   *
   * This service is the main interaction between users and worker for reading and writing blocks.
   * The {@link alluxio.worker.DataServer} interface defines how to start/stop, and get port
   * details; to start, object init is used. The implementation of this interface is in
   * {@link alluxio.worker.grpc.GrpcDataServer}. It creates an {@link alluxio.worker.DataServer}
   * instance based on gRPC which is a high performance universal remote procedure call framework.
   *
   * Data server handles the following types of block requests:
   * <ul>
   *   <li>Read blocks in worker storage from network</li>
   *   <li>Read blocks in worker storage from local file system:
   *     short-circuit read for local client</li>
   *   <li>Read blocks in UFS</li>
   *   <li>Write blocks in worker storage from network</li>
   *   <li>Write blocks in worker storage from local file system:
   *     short-circuit write for local client</li>
   *   <li>Write blocks in UFS</li>
   * </ul>
   *
   * The current protocol is described in {@link alluxio.proto.dataserver.Protocol}.
   * All the requests are generated by Protobuf to keep the protocol extensible but also
   * backward-compatible.
