Description

The premise here is that a user wants to do a one time manipulation of a lot of data. Maybe a transformation, maybe a delete, who knows. Currently, a user can set an iterator, force the action, wait for it to complete, and then disable it. This is kinda crappy, because it means the user needs to track the action. And, with FATE, this can be even better. This way a user can just let the operation go and it will handle the entirety of the process.
