Because of the variability in computation time on the worker nodes we don't use round-robin, but instead use least-recently-used (LRU) scheduling.  When done processing a worker reports that it is ready, so the scheduling logic must be in the application.  If the scheduling was round-robin, the DOWNSTREAM/UPSTREAM would be a perfect fit.  It sounds like I'll need to come up with some application-level workaround for this use-case.
