Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on HADOOP-4305:
-------------------------------------------------

Another question : Does the restart of a task tarcker say it is healthy? Or 
should we make admin explicitly say that the task tracker is healthy?

bq. Irrespective of all this, Map/Reduce should have a utility similar to 
dfsadmin -refreshNodes , to add and delete trackers to cluster anytime.
This could be  a separate jira, if it is really required.

> repeatedly blacklisted tasktrackers should get declared dead

> When running a batch of jobs it often happens that the same tasktrackers are 
> blacklisted again and again. This can slow job execution considerably, in 
> particular, when tasks fail because of timeout.
> It would make sense to no longer assign any tasks to such tasktrackers and to 
> declare them dead.
