/**
*
* Any Reporting Task that implements this interface will be provided the opportunity to verify
* a given configuration of the Reporting Task. This allows the Reporting Task to provide meaningful feedback
* to users when configuring the dataflow.
*
*
*
* Generally speaking, verification differs from validation in that validation is expected to be very
* quick and run often. If a Reporting Task is not valid, it cannot be started. However, verification may be
* more expensive or time-consuming to complete. For example, validation may ensure that a username is
* provided for connecting to an external service but should not perform any sort of network connection
* in order to verify that the username is accurate. Verification, on the other hand, may create resources
* such as network connections, may be more expensive to complete, and may be run only when a user invokes
* the action (though verification may later occur at other stages, such as when starting a component).
*
*
*
* Verification is allowed to be run only when a Reporting Task is fully stopped. I.e., it has no active threads
* and currently has a state of STOPPED. Therefore, any initialization logic that may need to be performed
* before the Reporting Task is triggered may also be required for verification. However, the framework is not responsible
* for triggering the Lifecycle management stages, such as @OnScheduled before triggering the verification. Such
* methods should be handled by the {@link #verify(ConfigurationContext, ComponentLog)} itself.
* The {@link #verify(ConfigurationContext, ComponentLog)} method will only be called if the configuration is valid according to the
* validation rules (i.e., all Property Descriptors' validators and customValidate methods have indicated that the configuration is valid).
