/**
 * Basic interface for {@link MembershipOracle}s that can process queries in parallel.
 * 
 * Parallel oracles usually use one or more dedicated worker threads in which the processing of queries is performed.
 * Since these do not have a defined life span, they must be terminated explicitly using {@link #shutdown()} or {@link
 * #shutdownNow()}.
