    -Job slaves are the one which actually execute the jobs that you submit.

    -They are awakened by the job coordinator when it is time for a job to be executed.

    -They gather the metadata to run the job from the job table.

    -When a job is done the slaves execute the following activities:

    -Reschedule the job if required
    -Update the state in the job table to reflect whether the job has completed or is scheduled to run again
    -Insert an entry into the job log table
    -Update the run count, and if necessary, failure count and retry count
    -Clean up
    -Look for new work (if none, they go to sleep)
