> If for example a user submits two text files as input, it will sometimes be split in 4 chunks.
> This usually exceeds the number of tasks that are available in the cluster (if out of the box installation just have 3 tasks configured).
> Mainly two questions that pop into my mind:
> -Why are two text files split into 4 tasks if the BSPJobClient should check if it exceeds the number of available task slots?
> -Why does the Client schedules the job if it knows that there are not enough slots available?
> Of course this should yield into a less cryptic error message. Well, actually currently there is no error messages, constantly confusing users.
> This is a blocker for 0.6.
