/**
 * Data Access Object design pattern specification to enable {@link Session} access to an

 * and {@link #delete(org.apache.shiro.session.Session)}.
 * <p/>
 * The remaining {@link #getActiveSessions()} method exists as a support mechanism to preemptively orphaned sessions,
 * typically by {@link org.apache.shiro.session.mgt.ValidatingSessionManager ValidatingSessionManager}s), and should
 * be as efficient as possible, especially if there are thousands of active sessions.  Large scale/high performance
 * implementations will often return a subset of the total active sessions and perform validation a little more
 * frequently, rather than return a massive set and infrequently validate.

     * Typically that is any session that is not stopped and where its lastAccessTimestamp is older than the session
     * timeout.
     * <p/>
     * For example, if sessions were backed by a relational database or SQL-92 'query-able' enterprise cache, you might
     * return something similar to the results returned by this query (assuming
     * {@link org.apache.shiro.session.mgt.SimpleSession SimpleSession}s were being stored):

     * select * from sessions s where s.lastAccessTimestamp &lt; ? and s.stopTimestamp is null

     * empty collection or {@code null} if there are no active sessions.
