```
public interface BackgroundTask
```
A task which is executed on the background. The task information is persistent, and is removed after the processing is finished. When running in a cluster, it is guaranteed that only a single node will execute a task. BackgroundTasks are instantiated once and reused - they need to be thread safe. The process of reading the context happens in a database transaction, the execution happens outside any transaction scope, and then the record is removed in another transaction.
