The main job of TrialRunner is scheduling trials to efficiently use cluster
resources, without overloading the cluster.
While Ray itself provides resource management for tasks and actors, this is
not sufficient when scheduling trials that may instantiate multiple actors.
This is because if insufficient resources are available, concurrent trials
could deadlock waiting for new resources to become available. Furthermore,
oversubscribing the cluster could degrade training performance, leading to
misleading benchmark results.
