-/**
- * Assuming there is DynamoDB session support registered,
- * this task will run a garbage collection of the sessions
- * stored in a configured DynamoDB table.
- *
- * Because this task could affect application performance,
- * it's recommended it be run in an off-peak time, such as
- * early in the morning.
- *
- * Default schedule is to run this at 3am each morning.
- * However, you can override this time by setting the
- * $schedule variable to something else using the {@link Config}
- * system.
