Complete Time

The complete time parameter of the scheduler affects the reassignment of tasks:

If the complete time is non-zero, the scheduler waits for a worker to complete an assigned task. If the complete time elapses before the scheduler receives completion from the worker, the scheduler reassigns the task to another worker.

Zero is a special value, which specifies no limit on the completion time—that is, the scheduler does not set a timer, and does not reassign tasks when task completion is lacking. All members implicitly begin with a default complete time, which is zero; programs can change this parameter.
