    It runs a separate thread to handle timers Note: to effectively use this
    timer queue, the timer callback should be short, otherwise it will cause
    other timers's delay execution. A typical use scenario in production is
    that the timers are just a simple functions which inject themselvies to
    a task queue and then they are picked up by a threading/process pool to
    execute, as shows below:
