What exactly are you referring to? API like this one:

DistributedForkJoinPool p = cacheManager.newDistributedForkJoinPool();

result = p.invoke(new DistributedTask() { ... });



Do we need an executor service? We invoke tasks directly with execute 
and executeAsync while MapReduceTask is invoked with:

R result = new MapReduceTask(cache).on(K...).mappedWith(mapper).reducedWith(reducer).collate(collator);

There are tons of other things to finish!
