    How to derive names for worker tasks. It is possible to use substitution strings of {coordinatorTaskName}, {node} and {index} here. CoordinatorTaskName is the name of the coordinator task, node is the node identifier and index numbers workers created for particular node, starting at 1. The default value is "{coordinatorTaskName} ({node}:{index})".

    Other deltas to be applied to newly created worker task. BEWARE! These are applied only to newly created tasks. During further workers reconciliation runs they are ignored.
