Enable Rest API resources to invoke async flow service

Currently, a defined Rest API resource against a flow service only makes use of the synchronous interface. The intent here is be able to choose which flow service interface to use - i.e. the private synchronous or the private asynchronous interface in the API resource definition. 

Our goal is to enable an asynchronous API to our consumers and ensure that any subsequent failure in the implementation service is properly manageable (via flow restart functionality).

Our best option today is to have a synchronous API with a messaging queue as the intermediate storage to support the asynchronous behavior. But even here, we are unable to restart a failed flow service that acts as a messaging subscriber (separate Idea has been submitted).

    Thank you for your submission, but as you state we async APIs can be orchestrated via messaging and the issue with being able to resubmit failed services is under review.

    Hence I will close this idea.
