somebody will correct me, if I'm wrong, but Jenkins uses the following
algorithm:
- it only uses nodes with free executors
- it will prefer to run the build on the same node where it was last
executed
- it will prefer nodes where there a workspace already exists.
- if nothing else, it will chose a node in ~random.
