 \class ROOT::RNTupleWriter
 \ingroup NTuple
 \brief An RNTuple that gets filled with entries (data) and writes them to storage
 
 RNTupleWriter is an interface for writing RNTuples to storage. It can be instantiated using the static functions
 Append() and Recreate(), providing an RNTupleModel that defines the schema of the data to be written.
 
 An RNTuple can be thought of as a table, whose columns are defined by its schema (i.e. by its associated RNTupleModel,
 whose Fields map to 0 or more columns).
 Writing into an RNTuple happens by filling *entries* into the RNTupleWriter, which make up the rows of the table.
 The simplest way to do so is by:
 
 - retrieving a (shared) pointer to each Field's value;
 - writing a value into each pointer;
 - calling `writer->Fill()` to commit the entry with all the current pointer values.
 
 ~~~ {.cpp}
 #include <ROOT/RNTupleWriter.hxx>
 
 /// 1. Create the model.
 auto model = ROOT::RNTupleModel::Create();
 // Define the schema by adding Fields to the model.
 // MakeField returns a shared_ptr to the value to be written (in this case, a shared_ptr<int>)
 auto pFoo = model->MakeField<int>("foo");
 
 /// 2. Create writer from the model.
 auto writer = ROOT::RNTupleWriter::Recreate(std::move(model), "myNTuple", "some/file.root");
 
 /// 3. Write into it.
 for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
    // Assign the value you want to each RNTuple Field (in this case there is only one Field "foo").
    *pFoo = i;
 
    // Fill() writes the entire entry to the RNTuple.
    // After calling Fill() you can safely write another value into `pFoo` knowing that the previous one was
    // already saved.
    writer->Fill();
 }
 
 // On destruction, the writer will flush the written data to disk.
 ~~~
 
 The caller has to make sure that the data that gets filled into an RNTuple is not modified for the time of the
 Fill() call. The Fill call serializes the C++ object into the column format and
 writes data into the corresponding column page buffers.
 
 The actual writing of the buffers to storage is deferred and can be triggered by FlushCluster() or by
 destructing the writer.
 
 On I/O errors, a ROOT::RException is thrown.
