Can celery assign task to specify worker

Question

Celery will send task to idle workers.

I have a task will run every 5 seconds, and I want this task to only be sent to one specify worker.

Other tasks can share the left over workers

Can celery do this??

And I want to know what this parameter is: CELERY_TASK_RESULT_EXPIRES
Does it means that the task will not be sent to a worker in the queue?
Or does it stop the task if it runs too long?

Sure, you can. Best way to do it, separate celery workers using different queues. You just need to make sure that task you need goes to separate queue, and your worker listening particular queue. Long story for this: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/routing.html
