+//   - EventWriterBase: the base struct of a writer, it contains common fields and functions for all writers
+//   - WriterType: the type name of a writer, eg: console, file
+//   - WriterName: aka Mode Name in document, the name of a writer instance, it's usually defined by the config file.
+//     It is called "mode name" because old code use MODE as config key, to keep compatibility, keep this concept.
+//
+// * WriterMode: the common options for all writers, eg: log level.
+//   - WriterConsoleOption and others: the specified options for a writer, eg: file path, remote address.
+//
+// Call graph:
