EsAsyncTaskScheduler
The async task scheduler schedules the asynchronous tasks for the constructs such as futures.
It is required to do so in such a way that it can be gauranteed that the caller scheduling the tasks can complete their work before the task begins executing.
The importance of this can be seen with futures. If the future were already executing (and perhaps finished) before the caller finished subscribing all catch: handlers, then its possible they would be missed and go unhandled..even though the caller was setting them up.
A default task scheduler is registered on startup, though one could switch this out. It can be accessed by calling EsAsyncTaskScheduler class>>default
