+ * The DMaaP listener is responsible for listening to a topic on the Universal Event Bus and reading in messages that
+ * conform to the DCAE message format for APPC. These messages will then be parsed and passed along to the APPC Provider
+ * to take action on. The listener will also send messages out on DMaaP during critical phases. The messages sent out will
+ * have a status of:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li><i>PENDING</i> - The listener has read the message off of DMaaP and has put it in the queue to be processed</li>
+ * <li><i>ACTIVE</i> - The listener has begun actually processing the request and is waiting on the appc provider to
+ * complete the request</li>
+ * <li><i>SUCCESS</i> or <i>FAILURE</i> - The listener has gotten a response back from the appc provider. If it is a
+ * FAILURE, a message should also be included</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Activation of the bundle will provision 1 controller that in turn will provision 1 (or in the future more) listener
+ * to interact with DMaaP. Each listener will have a queue of messages read off of DMaaP and a thread pool of workers to
+ * process them. This worker is responsible for contacting appc provider to perform the action
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * When the bundle is deactivated, the stopNow() method is called and the thread pool is emptied and all remaining jobs
+ * are orphaned. Alternatively stop() could be called which would allow all remaining jobs in the queue to complete at
+ * the cost of longer run time.
