  The general idea is that a job question is a Java POJO containing "properties" (a set of setters/getter) for each information the job would like an answer to (or a confirmation). Once those properties have been set ##JobStatus#answered()## is called to notify the job to continue.
--On the Job side it means calling ##JobStatus#ask(myquestion)## which will block until the question is answered.
++On the Job side it means calling ##JobStatus#ask## which will block until the question is answered (or if the question timeout). Since 10.2 it's possible to know how much is left to answer the question using ##JobStatus#getQuestionTimeLeft## method.
  But this API is not restricted to the job itself, it can be used by a listener reacting to something a generic job has done for example. In such a use case you can use ##org.xwiki.job.JobContext## component to access the current job and its status.
