PollableBean (spring-cloud-function-context 3.2.12 API)

```
@Target({METHOD,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Bean
@Documented
public @interface PollableBean
```
A marker and qualifier annotation to signal that annotated functional factory method is a bean (e.g., Supplier, Function or Consumer) that also needs to be polled periodically.
This has special significance to the reactive suppliers (e.g., Supplier<Flux<?>>), since by default they are treated as producers of an infinite stream. However if such suppliers produce a finite stream they may need to be triggered again.

NOTE: The spring-cloud-function framework provides no default post processing behavior for this annotation. This means that annotating a factory method with this annotation will not have any effect without some application/framework specific post processing (see spring-cloud-stream as an example).

Since:
