Hi Anil,

I think we may also need Pending-Update, if there is any focus of
updating a tap-flow/tap-service in the future.

But yes, such states should exist as most of the processing should not
be presented to the user ( i.e. User should not wait for a CLI/UI
function to complete), specially if a lot of processing is required.

>For the former case,subsequent queries of the object's state will indicate if the operation has completed, is still pending or has failed.

Instead of polling, a callback can act as an interrupt and inform the
frontend about Success/Failure of a job.
