In our jenkins setup i started noticing that re builds of certain builds started leading to the following error in the logs
Apr 08, 2015 3:12:53 PM hudson.model.Executor run
SEVERE: Unexpected executor death
java.lang.IllegalStateException: /path/jobs/job-name/builds/59 already existed; will not overwite with HDP-TS #59

If the user on the same job starts a new build it works fine. So something with re build is causing these errors. When we run into the above state the executor thread becomes dead and has to be restarted and asks you to go to http://host:8080/computer/%28master%29/executors/21/causeOfDeath
Saw this happen multiple times on different jobs. We are running v1.607
