Thanks for the explanation and time is needed in order to digest it... I guess one might start with the simple "status" field approach ;)

The status doesn't help if the worker died during processing. If you've got something that's been "in progress" for 20 minutes of a job that takes 2, your job might not be getting done. That's what expired is for.

I see now! So the 'expired' field is for checking died/incompleted workers.
