 * 
 * Two Executors are required. The {@link #getLongLivedExecutor()} is used for message processing and the
 * {@link #getShortLivedExecutor()} is used for timer tasks. They can both be the same underlying Executor if desired.
 * Separating them allows for additional control such as with a ResourceAdapter WorkManager where the WorkManager
 * differentiates between short and long lived Work.
 * 
 * 
 * By way of example, a single {@link Executors#newCachedThreadPool()} satisfies the requirements but really adds
 * nothing over the default behavior.
