   Agree with @garrensmith, for reporting the job on all the nodes, it might be easier to think of something like this:
   
     * Having an `<<"active_task_status">>` section to each job's data section, already converted to json format.
   
     * In the http handler we would query all the active jobs and just emit those json objects. All active jobs are conveniently already located under a single `?ACTIVITY` subspace and can be queried with [get_active_since/3] https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/prototype/fdb-layer/src/couch_jobs/src/couch_jobs_fdb.erl#L358) (it was done that way on purpose to make it simple to query all active jobs in order to report _active_tasks easier 😉 ).
   
    * To get all the possible job types can use [get_types](https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/prototype/fdb-layer/src/couch_jobs/src/couch_jobs_fdb.erl#L321). 
   
    * Since we'd be calling those outside of couch_jobs we could add a new function to `couch_jobs`, something like `get_active_jobs` perhaps.
