I ran into a similar issue a couple weeks ago.

After a little research, it appears this sort of thing can occur if Jenkins
encounters an unexpected error (e.g. a job or intermediate step failed but
wasn't fully stopped). This example
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34815734/what-causes-jenkins-workflow-unknown-steps-tasks>
shows
the issue with Jenkins 1, but I expect something similar is happening for
us.

Subject: build.geoserver.org - apollo-slave-01 stuck on "Unknown Task"
To: geoserver-devel <[email protected]>


Hello,

Today I noticed that the apollo-slave-01 was stuck running an "Unknown
Task", causing a backlogged build queue of 38 items.

After a little research, it appears this sort of thing can occur if Jenkins
encounters an unexpected error.

I have restarted the node and everything seems to be working fine now.
I don't think any action needs to be taken at the moment, but in the future
if anyone else runs into a similar failure, or if this sort of thing starts
becoming common, we may wish to investigate further.

Torben
