On balance, I agree with @ahgittin that we should revert this, and first
merge https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/pull/480
The changes in this PR were suggested on the mailing list as part of
@grkvlt's message "[PROPOSAL] Enabling Effective Effectors" on 30/05/2016, but
it wasn't properly discussed there.
After reverting this, we need to kick off that discussion on the mailing
list again. We need to more clearly describe the use-case that motivated this
change. We can then discuss the philosophy behind it.
For clarification, I believe the intent for the CA-server use-case was that
the effector call happens *only once*; subsequent queries for the config key
gets the value from that initial invocation (or blocks until the effector
returns, if another thread is still executing it). But let's discuss that more
on the mailing list.
