This looks like an MR1 issue, so moving it to MAPREDUCE.

> If the fair share returned by the scheduler getFairShare() == 1 the pool will never be marked as being starved because of the following calculation:
> {code}
> boolean isStarvedForFairShare(PoolSchedulable sched) { 
>   int desiredFairShare = (int) Math.floor(Math.min( sched.getFairShare() / 2, sched.getDemand())); 
>   return (sched.getRunningTasks() < desiredFairShare); 
> }
> {code}
> getFairShare() returns 1
> Math.min calculation will return 0.5
> Math.Floor() which will cause the desiredFairShare to be set to 0.
> the return value to be 'false' (0 < 0)
> If you have a small job without a minimum set it will not get scheduled if a large job is hogging the slots.
