Things to check first
- I have searched the existing issues and didn't find my feature already requested there
Feature description
It currently supports tasks of the cron expression type and fixed-rate type. However, fixed-delay tasks are not yet supported (where a fixed interval elapses between the end of one task execution and the start of the next). Do you have any plans to implement this feature?
Use case
For large-batch task scheduling, we aim to process as many tasks as possible in each run cycle. When there are no pending tasks, the system will sleep for a fixed period and then wake up to check again for executable tasks.
