------------------------------------------

bq. Inserting delays to fix synchro problems is a perilous course. Can we do 
something better, like alternate between checking for an error code, and 
checking if the jetty interface came up?

Ari, excellent suggestion. I have done just that in the attached patch. So, 
what happens now is that even if the command's exit code is missed the first 
time, I continue to check for exit status while checking for the jetty 
interface status. Thus, at some point if the command is found to have exited, 
the code returns immediately with a good error message.

I tested this patch by introducing spurious failures on a test cluster. I was 
able to validate that the correct code paths were covered. However, some 
testing in a more controlled environment where we can control the allocated 
nodes and set them up for failure could help. Karam, can you please take this 
patch, and re-run your tests.
