No, I'd shift these parameters to DistributedTask#execute unless we 
absolutely need them at for task creation. Let's keep factory method for 
DistributedTask as simple as possible. I'd rather have a single factory 
method and develop and grow DistributedTask API independently of 
CacheManager than have multiple overloaded factory methods for 
DistributedTask.
