   * Annotates an interface that will serve as the entry point to mapper features.

   * public interface InventoryMapper {
   *   &#64;DaoFactory
   *   ProductDao productDao();
   * }

   * create an instance from a {@link CqlSession}:
   *
   * <pre>
   * InventoryMapper inventoryMapper = new InventoryMapperBuilder(session).build();
   * </pre>
   *
   * By default, the builder's name is the name of the interface with the suffix "Builder", and it
   * resides in the same package. You can also use a custom name with {@link #builderName()}.
   *
   * <p>The interface should define one or more {@link DaoFactory} methods.
