Rendezvous_create
create a rendezvous point for a number of parties to
synchronize their execution at. Rendezvous points are used to
synchronize behavior between multiple threads. They allow for
a pretty straightforward manner of being able to say that a
number of predefined parties are to meet at this point and
continue from it once their all there.
Rendezvous points work in a local or distributed fashion
depending on where they were created and where you are acessing
them from. So the rendezvous point is local to the component
where it was created but it is remote and therefore works in
a distributed way when accessed from a different component
(runner or agent).
