**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** In https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/698 some improvements where added to avoid sleeping when there are enough tasks around. In order to support quicker query responses (e.g. <100ms) and avoid delays in between stages we need to remove calls like `sleep(Duration::from_millis(100))` from executor/scheduler and move away from interval-based polling. This also will reduce CPU/network waste, as there are less calls being done (currently I am seeing around `1-2%` of CPU being used when idling, not much, but when going to higher polling frequencies this increases. Setting it to 1ms gives it a very high CPU usage. **Describe the solution you'd like** Wait on tasks to be available in the scheduler and only send a response when having tasks for the worker. Remove calls to `sleep`. **Describe alternatives you've considered** A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. **Additional context** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
