As an example, consider a case where there > are two free slots and there are two tasks waiting to run. JVM_job1 and > JVM_job2 are the two idle jvms in memory. A waiting task, task job1_t1, kills > the JVM_job2 and spawns a new one, JVM_1_job1. While JVM_1_job1 is > initializing (it is marked busy during initialization), JVM_job1 picks this > task up and hence this becomes busy as well. Another waiting task, job3_t1 > finds both the JVMs busy and doesn't spawn a new JVM. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
