Val, timeout still makes sense for task sessions. It is possible that all jobs mapped to node have been completed, but node still receives attributes. Attributes are sent in ordered messages. It may happen so that node may start processing jobs for that task again and this way all the attributes will be available. If task timeout elapses then messages get cleared. Please let me know if you still have questions.
