The Slurm folks have been working on failure management support for a
little while, the idea being you can have a pool of spare nodes to pick
from (or alternatively bargain with a scheduler for a node that's
currently busy to come free later on and then add it to the job,
potentially extending the walltime to make up for the shortfall).

A better description from someone with higher caffeination is here:

All the best,
