#898: Confusion over the accept_input field in communication code

 The communication framework configuration include a field named
 accept_input which isn't named well and seems to be over used.  The result
 of it is that state is synchronized between the manager and workers which
 shouldn't be happening.  This will require some discussion before removing
 the functionality though because pushing data from the manager to workers
 can be useful on clusters where data is read with the input framework and
 needs to be distributed to the workers.
