Stefan Egli updated SLING-12078:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Two regular cases where a job is stored as part of JobManager.addJob():
 * when a topology is defined, it directly gets stored to the appropriate 
assigned/target slingId subtree. This is the most frequent case by far.
 * if no topology is defined (no TOPOLOGY_INIT received) yet, it gets put into 
the unassigned subtree. Later upon receiving TOPOLOGY_INIT 
CheckTopologyTask.fullRun() finds such unassigned jobs and moves them to the 
corresponding assigned subtree.

There is a suspect race condition (test case to be provided), which happens 
between the thread doing JobManager.addJob() and the thread handling the 
TOPOLOGY_INIT:
 * JobManager.addJob determines the target slingId - which is not yet defined, 
as TOPOLOGY_INIT is just being handled concurrently
 * CheckTopologyTask.fullRun(), as part of TOPOLOGY_INIT handling, however does 
not yet find the above new job in unassigned, as the job is just being stored 
concurrently.

The result is a job in the unassigned subtree, which waits until the next 
TopologyEvent happens - which then invokes CheckTopologyTask.fullRun() - which 
then finds the unassigned job and re/assigns it accordingly. So the job is 
never lost, but substantially delayed due to this. (the frequency of 
TopologyEvents depends on actual cluster/property changes happening in the 
topology and can thus vary).

Tasks:
* provide a test case to reproduce
* fix the race-condition
* undo
