-Currently, the default region execution is synchronous, but you can change
-it to be asynchronous by changing `TaskExecutor`. Task simulates
-work by sleeping two seconds so that you can see how actions in
-regions are executed inparallel.
-The following listing shows the `TaskExecutor` bean definition:
+Default region execution is synchronous meaning a regions would be processed
+sequentially. In this sample we simply want all task regions to get processed
+parallel. This can be accomplished by defining `RegionExecutionPolicy`:
