Current approach to restarting data collection?

[ShaheedHaque]

Have you asked elsewhere?

The thread in https://stackoverflow.com/a/40518553/6332554 describes a way to "restart" data collection.

Describe your situation

Celery workers do not honour atexit() handlers, see https://github.com/celery/celery/discussions/8923. I'm trying a couple of different approaches to dealing with this, one being to use the Coverage API to dump the collected data as the worker runs. Since the worker runs my tasks, I can "easily" add the code to the end of my task function.

I therefore need incremental collection. I don't see an obvious solution using the current public API, but I do see the auto_load option on the constructor. Can it or the load() method be used to restart collection?

If not, then is the method in the stackoverflow.com exchange still current?
