I think your dissection of the use cases makes sense, except that I think (a) and (c) are essentially the same; only that in the case of (c) the task ignores any data input. This would raise the question of why would anybody do this, and what purpose does it solve. :-) So yeah, we could support it as a part of (a), but I am less than convinced of its value. > > Ok, no problem.

Just to finalise the API. Would this be specific to a cache or a cache manager? E.g., should it be Cache.newDistributedTask()?
