Pete Wyckoff commented on HADOOP-3628:
--------------------------------------

I opened: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3969, to implement a 
mechanism for instantiating a class that exposes the public service apis to 
external tools.

{code}
package org.apache.hadoop.util;

public interface ExposeServiceAPIs {

   /**
   * @param service - the service whose APIs are to be exposed
  * @param  serviceName - a symbolic name for the service
  * @param configuration - the hadoop configuration object
 **/
  public void initialize(Service service, String serviceName, Configuration 
conf) throws IOException,
  public boolean start();
  public boolean stop();
} ;

{code}

The reference implementation will be REST which I'm working on now, but will 
obviously need some hooks in the service class itself.

> I'd like to propose we have a standard interface for hadoop components, the 
> things that get started or stopped when you bring up a namenode. currently, 
> some of these classes have a stop() or shutdown() method, with no standard 
> name/interface, but no way of seeing if they are live, checking their health 
> of shutting them down reliably. Indeed, there is a tendency for the spawned 
> threads to not want to die; to require the entire process to be killed to 
> stop the workers. 
> Having a standard interface would make it easier for 
>  * management tools to manage the different things
>  * monitoring the state of things
>  * subclassing
> The latter is interesting as right now TaskTracker and JobTracker start up 
> threads in their constructor; that's very dangerous as subclasses may have 
> their methods called before they are full initialised. Adding this interface 
> would be the right time to clean up the startup process so that subclassing 
> is less risky.
