[Shang Yuanchun (Jira)]

Stephan Ewen created FLINK-4384:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add a "scheduleRunAsync()" feature to the RpcEndpoint
                 Key: FLINK-4384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4384
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Distributed Coordination
         Environment: FLIP-6 feature branch
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.2.0


It is a common pattern to schedule a call to be executed in the future. Examples are
  - delays in retries
  - heartbeats,
  - checking for heartbeat timeouts

I suggest to add a {{scheduleRunAsync()}} method to the {{RpcEndpoint}}.
