             Summary: Make the task framework more extensible
                 Key: HELIX-416
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HELIX-416
             Project: Apache Helix
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Kanak Biscuitwala
            Assignee: Kanak Biscuitwala


The current task framework is good for the use case where we want to run identical tasks according to a target resource's assignment. However, realistically, we want things like:

- Each task partition can correspond to a different task
- Some task groups shouldn't have a status corresponding to them; they should be able to take on additional task partitions dynamically
- There should be some notion of independence, in that a target resource (or lack thereof) can say that arbitrary task partitions can be assigned to arbitrary live participants

This is a pretty involved undertaking, so this will encompass some subtasks.
