Issue description
From this forum thread.

I've noticed during my tests that the nodethreads algorithm does not distribute the tasks according to the number of processing threads in the node. With the configuration discribed int he reproductionsteps, the expected tasks distribution is 12-6-3-3 but i get something very different: 10-6-4-4 in my latest test for instance. I added log traces and could observe that the algorithm reports a number of tasks to send that has nothing to do with the corresponding node's number of processing threads

Steps to reproduce this issue
Start 1 driver, 4 nodes with 4-2-1-1 processing threads respectively, then start an admin console, then submit a job with 24 tasks that just sleep for 10s each. You can observe in the admin console that the distribution of executed tasks to the nodes is wrong.

In fact this problem only happens if the number of processing thread in one or more of the nodes is changed after the node is connected with the server. The number of threads can be changed remotely either from the administration console or via a JMX API call. The cause of this is that the server does not update the number of procssing threads of its nodes, and the nodes do not notify the server when ever their number of threads is changed.
