    So I stared at this loop for a little bit and I think it could bring us 
into an infinite loop.
    
    E.g. We have 3 workers, with 3, 3, and 4 cores left respectively, so that 
`coresToAssign == 10`. Now let's say `coresPerExecutor == 3`, so after 
allocating 3 executors we end up with `coresToAssign == 1`. What happens next? 
Well, none of the usable workers can accommodate a new executor, and 
`coresToAssign > 0` is still true, so this loop never exits.
    
    Let me know if I'm missing something...
