[Engine-devel] Async Task Manager improvements

[Sahina Bose]

Hi Yair,

Thanks for the detailed design.
Had some questions

1. Can we think about introducing some DI framework in the Task 
Management package. This could be used to inject the DAL, VDS Broker, 
Commons etc dependencies. Even the list of providers and TaskStatusEvent 
handlers could be registered using this framework.

2. You mention "Several providers that refer to instances of the same 
external system type have the same ProviderLogic object. " I'm not sure 
I understand this. Could you clarify?

3. Will TaskManager also talk to Job entity and update/end Job if necessary?

4. Are we planning to support custom actions on tasks? That is, 
depending on status of task, task can be paused/ resumed/ aborted 
/custom action performed etc

thanks
sahina
