Hi, Sorry for a delayed response.
Once jobs are submitted, they are setup by running the setup task. These are run in order of submission. However, the setup task itself runs on any free map or reduce slot on any node. I can imagine scenarios where the setup task of a job that was submitted later completes first. And when that happens, it can start running out of order.
