What changed?
PollWorkflowTaskQueue returns a hint for the backlog on the task queue polled, which is measured (approximately) as tasks in the taskReader buffer or pending return to a poller. When matching a task that came from the db, the task itself would be counted in the backlog, since the backlog was recorded at match time, instead of after marking the task acked.
This measures the backlog after marking the task acked.
Why?
SDKs always poll on the sticky queue if there is a backlog, so they could incorrectly poll on the sticky queue when there are no tasks there and neglect the normal queue, causing a delay of up to the long poll interval.
How did you test it?
manually for now
