Description: Simple heartbeat support for R using 'Redis'. A heartbeat
        is a background thread that acts as a dead-man's switch. It
        will create a key on Redis that will automatically expire after
        a number of seconds and then periodically refresh that key,
        even when the R process is busy. If the process dies for some
        reason, then the key will disappear. A heartbeat can be used to
        detect loss of worker processes on shared systems.
