/**
* Injection qualifier that can be used to inject a {@link java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService}
* instance used by Jersey to execute background timed/scheduled tasks.
*
* A scheduled executor service instance injected using this injection qualifier can be customized by registering
* a custom {@link org.glassfish.jersey.spi.ScheduledExecutorServiceProvider} implementation that is itself annotated
* with the {@code @BackgroundScheduler} annotation.
*
*
* Typically, when facing a need to execute a scheduled background task, you would be creating a new
* standalone executor service that would be using a new standalone thread pool. This would however break
* the ability of Jersey to run in environments that have specific thread management and provisioning
* requirements. In order to simplify and unify programming model for scheduling background tasks in
* Jersey runtime, Jersey provides an this qualifier to inject a common, task scheduler that is properly
* configured to support customizable runtime thread .
