             Summary: Add API for starting a job and service interface for executing a job
                 Key: SLING-2829
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2829
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: Extensions Event 3.1.4
            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
            Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: Extensions Event 3.1.6


Currently it requires sending a special job event to the event admin to create a job. Once the event is sent, the sender has no knowledge whether this job has been received by the job implementation or not.
Executing a job is currently done by sending an event to the OSGi event admin and waiting for a handler to process this job. Again, this adds a lot of overhead and uncertainty. Especially as the job handling does not know upfront whether a processor for a job exists or not.
