#5983 Will cause an upgrade issue.
It remove a parameter resume(this is should always true).

But in the previous version.

The default value of http post 'resume' is false.
So when we upgrade the overload before middle manager, it will cause all task pausing until timeout.
I think you should declare this issue in
