Overview
A Sensor is a subclass of Operator. Sensors wait for an external event to happen. When the event they are waiting for occurs, the tasks succeeds, so their downstream tasks can run. The sensors are primarily idle, and because of that, they have primarily three modes of running, that allows executing them with various degrees of efficiency: poke, reschedule and smart sensors.
