Workers resiliency

[B-tronics]

Hello all!

I am just curious what happens, if a worker somehow fails to complete it's task. Is there a mechanism built in, so that another worker could take over the task from where the previous worker stopped? Is there any way to know what state the worker currently have?

There is currently no way to know the state of a worker with Conductor. However, assuming you have multiple workers polling for the same task in Conductor, you can set timeouts and retries for the tasks. So if a worker does not respond "in time", you can retry the task - and another worker will pick up the task to complete it.
