IMO, it would be better to wrap the `stopExecution` call in the
`TaskManager` into a `Future`. This has the following reasons: First of all,
with the current implementation, you'll miss all exceptions which occur in the
`stop` method. Secondly, you will send a positive `TaskOperationResult` back
before the stopping was executed. I haven't checked the semantic of the
`TaskOperationResult` but it might be the case that the JM upon receiving this
messages thinks that the stop call was successfully executed.

> Currently, streaming jobs can only be stopped using "cancel" command, what is
> a "hard" stop with no clean shutdown.
> The new introduced "stop" signal, will only affect streaming source tasks
> such that the sources can stop emitting data and shutdown cleanly, resulting
> in a clean shutdown of the whole streaming job.
