public interface TaskFunction

Function to invoke as a sequential process on a concurrent execution Stage. Use Stage.task(TaskFunction) to bind a TaskFunction to a Stage, and invoke TaskRef.cue() to schedule the concurrent execution of the sequential task.

Blocking

TaskFunction implementations should not perform long running or blocking operations. If a blocking operation needs to be performed, implement a Task that returns true from taskWillBlock() to avoid thread starvation of the execution Stage.
