Hi  
We have a requirement, to get the status of a set of wokflowIds.  
We are using the following code for querying for one work flow ID

```java
   WorkflowServiceStubs service = CreateWorkFlowInstance();
      WorkflowExecution execution = WorkflowExecution.newBuilder().setWorkflowId(workFlowId).build();
      DescribeWorkflowExecutionRequest describeWorkflowExecutionRequest =
          DescribeWorkflowExecutionRequest.newBuilder()
              .setNamespace(DEFAULT_NAME_SPACE)
              .setExecution(execution)
              .build();

      DescribeWorkflowExecutionResponse resp =
          service.blockingStub().describeWorkflowExecution(describeWorkflowExecutionRequest);

      WorkflowExecutionInfo workflowExecutionInfo = resp.getWorkflowExecutionInfo();
      String status = workflowExecutionInfo.getStatus().toString();

```

Do we have any API(batch), to get the status of a given set of workflowIds as we might use this for polling and want to know the impact of performance  
Thanks
