Email from Kishore:
```
Apologize to throw in another idea into the mix. Why not have additional
methods in the implementation that the agent can invoke on demand based on
annotation?. This extends the way we invoke methods on the statemodel.
For example we have
@Transition(TO=MASTER, FROM=SLAVE)
void fromSlaveTOMaster(Message m, NotificationContext ctx){
}
Can we have something similar as
@Method(name="getProgress")
Response getProgress(Message m, NotificationContext ctx){
}
Helix provides a generic way to invoke a method on a partition. I think
this is more powerful , does not disturb any interfaces and can be extending to
do custom stuff.
Also these methods will not be invoked via ZK, instead the controller can
directly invoke the method on the participant.
Feedback?

> Add a getProgress to the Task interface, this is very helpful for long
> running tasks, from which we know the status of a task and see if it's
> blocked. The return value is a double, ranging from 0 to 1.0, 1.0 indicates a
> task is finished
