[jira] Updated: (DROIDS-78) Be able to abort a task

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DROIDS-78?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Richard Frovarp updated DROIDS-78:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: abortable-task.diff

Adds abort option to tasks. Updated TaskMasters to support the new option. abort() only prevents the execution of a task, it does not stop an already executing task.

> It would be handy to be able to abort a task. I imagine it being used in conjunction with a WorkMonitor. A dev could perform a test in beforeExecute and abort running the task if something is found. I would like to abort downloading and processing pdf's, doc's and similar type files if they haven't changed since the last crawl. I'll try to work up a patch over the next week.
