Support flexible inputs and outputs #3
Description
Problem
---------------
Thumbnailator does not currently have a simple way to support differing inputs
and outputs, i.e. thumbnails created from image files can only be output to
files.
Solution
---------------
The `ThumbnailTask` class is designed to accept an input and output and perform
processing to create thumbnails.
By creating a new `ThumbnailTask` along with input and output interfaces which
can plug into that new `ThumbnailTask`, it would be possible to support
differing input and output formats.
This approach has an additional benefit that the existing code for processing
thumbnails (such as the `Thumbnailator.createThumbnail(ThumbnailTask)` method)
can be used as is.
Complications
---------------
No major complications can be found.
