/**
* Represents async requests sent from Management Center.
* <p/>
* Normally, ManagementCenterService handles {@code ConsoleRequest}s synchronously
* on its {@code TaskPollThread}, a single thread polls tasks from Management Center,
* executes them and writes back the response directly. This is fine for short running tasks
* but for long running tasks or blocking invocations, it's required to offload request
* handling to an async thread pool. Otherwise, {@code TaskPollThread} will be blocked
* for a long time without handling any request from Management Center.
