Scheduler
The scheduler component receives requests from the engine and stores them into persistent and/or non-persistent data structures. It also gets those requests and feeds them back to the engine when it asks for a next request to be downloaded.
Overriding the default scheduler
You can use your own custom scheduler class by supplying its full Python path in the :setting:`SCHEDULER` setting.
