> If you use cron syntax, you'll get duplicate actions (i.e. actions with the 
> same nominal time) at every throttle interval.  For example, if throttle=12 
> (the default), you'll have a duplicate action every 12 actions.  
> Here's my coordinator:
> {code:xml}
> <coordinator-app name="cron-coord" frequency="*/5 * * * *" start="${start}" 
> end="${end}" timezone="UTC"
>                  xmlns="uri:oozie:coordinator:0.2">
>   <controls>
>     <throttle>3</throttle>
>   </controls>
>         <action>
>         <workflow>
>             <app-path>${workflowAppUri}</app-path>
>             <configuration>
>                 <property>
>                     <name>jobTracker</name>
>                     <value>${jobTracker}</value>
>                 </property>
>                 <property>
>                     <name>nameNode</name>
>                     <value>${nameNode}</value>
>                 </property>
>                 <property>
>                     <name>queueName</name>
>                     <value>${queueName}</value>
>                 </property>
>             </configuration>
>         </workflow>
>     </action>
> </coordinator-app>
> {code}
> It runs every 5 min on the hour.  I also ran a similar coordinator, but with 
> the frequency set to {{coord:minutes(5)}}.  I set the throttle to 3 so it 
> would be easier to see the problem.
> Here are the two screenshots (make sure to either open them directly or widen 
> the page to see the nominal time column):
> !cron.jpg!
> !min.jpg!
> As you can see in the cron screenshot, every 3 actions there's a duplicate 
> action.  And the next materialization time is the same as the latest 
> materialized action, so it's going to do it again when it materializes more 
> actions.  On the minute screenshot, it's behaving correctly.  You'll also see 
> that the next materialized action is now 15 minutes ahead of the cron version!
> This has two major problems:
> - You have duplicate actions
> - The coordinator slowly gets further and further behind where it should be
