      void acknowledge(boolean release, OperationResult result)
      Informs the receiver that a particular item was processed (successfully or not).
      Parameters:
      release - If true, the item can be forgotten. If false, we want to receive that item again, presumably to be reprocessed later.
      result - Operation result in context of which the acknowledgement should take place. It is useful if the acknowledgement itself can take considerable time, e.g. when it involves a communication with an external party.
