Description
We've seen a number of cases recently of workers being overwhelmed when a scheduler gets a large number of tasks. This adds a new property to worker configs (
max_inflight_tasks) allowing for limiting the max tasks in flight on a worker. Default is unlimited tasks, which is the current behaviour.Type of change
