Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hibiken/asynq/issues/362

Originally assigned to: @hibiken on GitHub.

For some tasks I need to prepare some files and need to clean them if task failed after all defined attempts.
So, it will be very useful to define a cleanup task for a task to run after it's failed. It can be done as passing option to NewTask method.
So, after our original task is failed a new cleanup task will be automatically created with the same payload or maybe with custom payload.

You can implement this in different ways:

You can define a custom error and check it on the middleware/error handler (or check the task type) and enqueue the cleanup task.

Maybe it will be possible with the workflow feature as well (https://github.com/hibiken/asynq/issues/244).

But error handler and middleware ProcessTask will react on every retry, right? So, I can't know if this was the last attempt to run the task or not?
