**How severe does this issue affect your experience of using Ray?**

- High: It blocks me to complete my task.

Hi all,  
I’ve been trying to get a benchmark whipped up using Ray tasks since everything should be stateless, however, I would like to perform some initialisation on workers, what is the typical pattern for this?  
I.e.  
Worker gets assigned task → if initialised do task → else initialise then do task.

Is there a way to avoid using `Actors` for this behaviour?
