>
> When a high RAM job's task is scheduled on a tasktracker, the number of slots 
> it occupies will be more than one. If enough such tasks are scheduled, there 
> can come a situation when there are no more slots free on the node but the 
> number of tasks running is less than the number of slots. The jobtracker 
> currently schedules a setup or cleanup task based on how many tasks are 
> running on the system, rather than slots. As a result of this, it can 
> schedule a setup or cleanup task on a tasktracker without any free slots. If 
> the high RAM job's tasks are long running, this will significantly delay the 
> running of the setup or cleanup task, and thus the entire job.
