For persistence story, what about putting a new health report:
`/STAND_ALONE/INSTANCES/{instanceName}/HEALTHREPORT/taskStatus`?
Another thing to consider is that adding `#getProgress` to the task
interface requires users to be able to intelligently report task status. I
suspect that in practice someone might be annoyed at this extra responsibility,
and provide dummy numbers (sounds stupid, but saw it before).
Maybe a better approach would be to try to monitor on things we know a
priori about task (e.g. lifetime) and provide tools to inspect ones that seem
stuck (e.g. task/partition-addressable stack trace)?
