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

I vote for Option 1. If a TaskTracker is found faulty, shut it down. This is 
similar to the behaviour of a Datanode.

If an admin restarts a task-tarcker, then it should probably join the cluster 
as a "healthy" task tracker. 

> 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.
