Proc Details

bucketEject

Removes this timed event from any relevant buckets, or the secondary queue

bucketJoin

Attempts to add this timed event to a bucket, will enter the secondary queue if there are no appropriate buckets at this time.

Secondary queueing of timed events will occur when the timespan covered by the existing buckets is exceeded by the time at which this timed event is scheduled to be invoked. If the timed event is tracking client time, it will be added to a special bucket.

getcallingtype

Returns a string of the type of the callback for this timer
