A cycle marker is simply a type that knows how to do something useful with the result of a particular cycle. Outputs are required to be thread-safe.

- Method Detail
  - onCycleResult
```
boolean onCycleResult(long completedCycle,
                      int result)
```
    Mark the result of the numbered cycle with an integer value. The meaning of the value provided is contextual to the way it is used. (Each process will have its own status tables, etc.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    completedCycle - The cycle number being marked.
    
    result - the result ordinal
    
    Returns:
    
    true on success, false if the marking should be retried differently
