Fault tolerant Hadoop Job Tracker
---------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4586
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4586
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: mapred
Affects Versions: 0.18.0
Environment: High availability enterprise system
Reporter: Francesco Salbaroli
The Hadoop framework has been designed, in an eort to enhance perfor-
mances, with a single JobTracker (master node). It's responsibilities varies
from managing job submission process, compute the input splits, schedule
the tasks to the slave nodes (TaskTrackers) and monitor their health.
In some environments, like the IBM and Google's Internet-scale com-
puting initiative, there is the need for high-availability, and performances
becomes a secondary issue. In this environments, having a system with
a Single Point of Failure (such as Hadoop's single JobTracker) is a major
concern.
My proposal is to provide a redundant version of Hadoop by adding
support for multiple replicated JobTrackers. This design can be approached
in many dierent ways.

I wrote an overview of the problem and some approaches to solve it.
I post this to the community to gather feedback on the best way to proceed in
my work.
Thank you!
