[Engine-devel] RFE: Actions on tasks (jobs)

Hi, We plan to introduce support for gluster tasks in oVirt, using the current Jobs/steps framework. Which means, any gluster async task started on a cluster will be shown as a Job in the "Tasks" tab. While this helps in listing and monitoring the status of all gluster tasks, we have a requirement to support a set of actions on such tasks. One should be able to select a task, and then, if supported for that task, perform one or more of the following actions on it: - pause - resume - abort - commit I think this can probably be achieved by introducing a generic mechanism for performing actions on task, allowing each type of task to define what actions are allowed on it in it's current state. Requesting opinions/suggestions on possible ways to achieve this requirement. Thanks, Shireesh
