> DataflowPipelineJob has a method waitToFinish() that takes a handler for printing the job's output messages, AND waits for the job to finish, printing messages along the way using that handler.
> However, there are cases when a caller would like to poll for the job's messages and print them, but would like to keep the job under the caller's control, rather than having to wait for it to complete.
> E.g., one can imagine wanting to do the following "wait until a certain Aggregator in the job reaches a certain value, and then cancel the job, printing messages along the way". This is not possible with the current API, without copying code of waitToFinish().
