Implements the Group Service
Handles the Group create/modify/remove operations for any devices. If the device is not under the current controller instance, Group manager uses the distributed Group store to send GROUP_ADD_REQUEST to the master controller instance of that device.

Group ID space is per device.

Group Store replicates any changes to per device Group ID to all instances in the cluster, so that any instance in the cluster can generate a Group ID for a device even if it is not master.
Creates the groups only if the device doesn’t have those groups populated. If group already exists, the APIs return with the existing group object.
Maintains monotonically increasing Group ID number space for each device
