------------------------------------------------------------------------

The test is done with 15 simulated connections, 10 for K1(keyspace), 2 for K2 and 3 for k3. Requests came in the order of K1(1 thru 10), K2(11 thru 12), K3(13 thru15) and the test checked if K2 and K3 requests ran earlier then their request order. With the scheduler starting simultaneously, the requests were pretty much routed in order +/- the jvm thread scheduling order, hence the cause for the bug. 

Now the scheduler is paused still all the requests arrive and placed in their respective queues. When the scheduler is resumed, each pass retrieves one request from each keyspace queue, hence since K2 & K3 have only 2 and 3 requests, they get serviced faster than the order in which they arrived. This test just validates that the requests are RoundRobin and that's what we want to unit test.
