I notice that can happen that a task is still running when the job
already was killed.
The web gui says there is no running job and process hold the nodes busy.
I haven't found the source of the problem yet.
I have seen this too. I think the solution is that, when the
tasktracker reports task status to the jobtracker in a heartbeat
message, the jobtracker should return an indication of which tasks are
no longer valid and should be killed. Please file a bug report.
