Type Parameters:

M - The concrete type for this implementor.
```
public interface MappingImplementor<M>

```
  - start
```
CompletableFuture<?> start(MappingStartContext context)
```

    Called by the engine once during bootstrap, after backends and index managers were started.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - The start context.
    
    Returns:
    
    A future that completes when the mapper is completely started.
