      AT:

      • there is a way to declare an external service task in BPMN XML
      • there is a service method for polling external tasks; API method takes a task topic, a lock time, variables to fetch, a worker id, and a maximum number of tasks to fetch
      • returned external task instances contain metadata (process definition id, key, activity id, etc.; similar to user tasks) and the requested variables that are visible from the task in the variable hierarchy
      • tasks are locked for the specified time and cannot be acquired by another worker in the meantime
      • at most the desired number of tasks is returned; it may be less when there are no more tasks or when some tasks cannot be locked due to optimistic locking
      • completing an external tasks continues process flow; variables can be submitted (similar to TaskService#complete)
