`lockRenewTime` (which is usually half `lockDuration`). If `lockDuration` elapses before the lock can be renewed,
the job will be considered stalled and is automatically restarted; it will be __double processed__. This can happen when:
1. The Node process running your job processor unexpectedly terminates.
2. Your job processor was too CPU-intensive and stalled the Node event loop, and as a result, Bull couldn't renew the job lock (see #488 for how we might better detect this). You can fix this by breaking your job processor into smaller parts so that no single part can block the Node event loop. Alternatively, you can pass a larger value for the `lockDuration` setting (with the tradeoff being that it will take longer to recognize a real stalled job).

As such, you should always listen for the `stalled` event and log this to your error monitoring system, as this means your jobs are likely getting double-processed.
