+1, it would help understanding the flow.

- It looks like you chose not re-use/extend the ExecutionHandler (the
entity used for building the tasks view exposed to the users).
It might be a good idea to keep the separation between the engine Jobs
and the underlying vdsm tasks, but I want to make sure you are familiar
with this mechanism and ruled it out with a reason. If this is the case
please share why you decided not to use it.


- how does this design survives a jboss restart? Can you please a
section in the wiki to explain that.

-successful execution -
* "CommandBase iterates over its SPMAsyncTaskHandlers" - when?
* If the second task is an HSM command (vs. SPM command), I think you
should explain in the design how to handle such flows as well.
* Why do we need before task? can you give a concrete example of what
would you do in such a method.

- I see you added SPMAsyncTaskHandler, any reason not to use
SPMAsyncTasK to manage it own life-cycle?

- In the life-cycle managed by the SPMAsyncTaskHandler there is a step
'createTask - how to create the async task' can you please elaborate
what are the options.
