[jira] [Commented] (GEODE-7377) AsyncEventQueue should have a isEventDisplatchingPaused() method

["John Blum (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-7377?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16963602#comment-16963602 ] 

John Blum commented on GEODE-7377:
----------------------------------

Turns out, there is already a method in the AsyncEventQueue to ascertain the paused state of event dispatching...

Since the Javadoc is missing in Apache Geode, sharing the Pivotal GemFire Javadoc instead...

http://gemfire-98-javadocs.docs.pivotal.io/org/apache/geode/cache/asyncqueue/AsyncEventQueue.html#isDispatchingPaused--

However, this is not very consistent in naming structure.  It would have been better to name the method {{isEventDispatchingEnabled()}}.  

{{isDispatchingPaused()}}, while implied, could mean anything.

> This is useful to determine (programmatically) whether the AEQ was created in a "paused" state to begin with.
> Anytime you have methods to control the lifecycle (start/stop) of some background processing, you should also provide a means to query the state.
