Description

Currently, the method RpcService.scheduleRunnable does not return a control instance for the scheduled runnable. I think it would be good to return a ScheduledFuture with which one can cancel the scheduled runnable after it has been scheduled, e.g. a timeout registration which became obsolete. This API is also more in line with the ScheduledExecutorService where one also receives a ScheduledFuture after scheduling a runnable.
