Change timeout for builtin celery tasks (i.e. celery.backend_cleanup)
We're using Celery 4.2.1 and Redis with global soft and hard timeouts set for our tasks. All of our custom tasks are designed to stay under the limits, but every day the builtin task backend_cleanup task ends up forcibly killed by the timeouts.
I'd rather not have to raise our global timeout just to accommodate builtin Celery tasks. Is there a way to set the timeout of these builtin tasks directly?
I've had trouble finding any documentation on this or even anyone hitting the same problem.
Relevant source from celery/app/builtins.py:
@connect_on_app_finalize
def add_backend_cleanup_task(app):
"""Task used to clean up expired results.
If the configured backend requires periodic cleanup this task is also
automatically configured to run every day at 4am (requires
:program:`celery beat` to be running).
"""
@app.task(name='celery.backend_cleanup', shared=False, lazy=False)
def backend_cleanup():
app.backend.cleanup()
return backend_cleanup
