class BaseChatMessageHistory(ABC):
    """Abstract base class for storing chat message history.

    Implementations guidelines:

    Implementations are expected to over-ride all or some of the following methods:

    * add_messages: sync variant for bulk addition of messages
    * aadd_messages: async variant for bulk addition of messages
    * messages: sync variant for getting messages
    * aget_messages: async variant for getting messages
    * clear: sync variant for clearing messages
    * aclear: async variant for clearing messages

    add_messages contains a default implementation that calls add_message
    for each message in the sequence. This is provided for backwards compatibility
    with existing implementations which only had add_message.

    Async variants all have default implementations that call the sync variants.
    Implementers can choose to over-ride the async implementations to provide
    truly async implementations.

    Usage guidelines:

    When used for updating history, users should favor usage of `add_messages`
    over `add_message` or other variants like `add_user_message` and `add_ai_message`
    to avoid unnecessary round-trips to the underlying persistence layer.

    Example: Shows a default implementation.
