The JT will be restarted (perhaps on another node if the node where it's
running has died).  On recovery, JT will resume currently running jobs from
where they were, ie., they are not lost or abandoned like is the case today
with Apache Hadoop or CDH.

Yes.

No.  Works even across entire cluster reboots.  As I said in my original
posting,

 "-  If there is a complete cluster crash and reboot (eg, a full
power-failure of the entire cluster), M5 will recover in 5-10 minutes, and
submitted jobs will resume from where they were."
