---------------------------------------
Summary: Make the task framework more extensible
Key: HELIX-416
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HELIX-416
Project: Apache Helix
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Kanak Biscuitwala
Assignee: Kanak Biscuitwala
The current task framework is good for the use case where we want to run
identical tasks according to a target resource's assignment. However,
realistically, we want things like:
- Each task partition can correspond to a different task
- Some task groups shouldn't have a status corresponding to them; they should
be able to take on additional task partitions dynamically
- There should be some notion of independence, in that a target resource (or
lack thereof) can say that arbitrary task partitions can be assigned to
arbitrary live participants
This is a pretty involved undertaking, so this will encompass some subtasks.
