Probe: provide API to programmatically execute queries and handle results
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-840
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-840
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.8


Currently, probe gets its results as a plain text, read from a datagram socket. An API would allow clients to gets responses aggregated by cluster member, in hashmap format. A client should be able to register and get notified whenever a response was received, and also retrieve the entire response set after a timeout.
Such an API makes it simpler for (e.g.) management applications to ping the cluster members and get information about them. Without the API, a client has to parse the returned text and arrange it into keys and values.
