To allocate thread fro Global pool is universal and all pools described below are implemented on top of it. This can be thought of as a hierarchy of pools. Any specialized pool takes its threads from the global pool using `ThreadPool` class. So the main purpose of any specialized pool is to apply limit on the number of simultaneous jobs and do job scheduling. If there are more jobs scheduled than threads in a pool, `ThreadPool` accumulates jobs in a queue with priorities. Each job has an integer priority. Default priority is zero. All jobs with higher priority values are started before any job with lower priority value. But there is no difference between already executing jobs, thus priority matters only when the pool in overloaded. -IO thread pool is implemented as a plain `ThreadPool` accessible via `IOThreadPool::get()` method. It is configured in the same way as global pool with `max_io_thread_pool_size`, `max_io_thread_pool_free_size` and `io_thread_pool_queue_size` settings. The main purpose of IO thread pool is to avoid exhaustion of the global pool with IO jobs, which could prevent queries from fully utilizing CPU. +IO thread pool is implemented as a plain `ThreadPool` accessible via `IOThreadPool::get()` method.

The main purpose of IO thread pool is to avoid exhaustion of the global pool with IO jobs, which could prevent queries from fully utilizing CPU. Backup to S3 does significant amount of IO operations and to avoid impact on interactive queries there is separate `BackupsIOThreadPool` configured with `max_backups_io_thread_pool_size`, `max_backups_io_thread_pool_free_size` and `backups_io_thread_pool_queue_size` settings. For periodic task execution there is `BackgroundSchedulePool` class. You can register tasks using `BackgroundSchedulePool::TaskHolder` objects and the pool ensures that no task runs two jobs at the same time. It also allows you to postpone task execution to a specific instant in the future or temporarily deactivate task. Global `Context` provides a few instances of this class for different purposes. For general purpose tasks `Context::getSchedulePool()` is used.
