TaskTracker, DataNode, and SecondaryNameNode should timeout on waiting for its server to be up ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4724 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4724 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Hairong Kuang Fix For: 0.20.0 TaskTracker, DataNode, and SecondaryNameNode currently wait forever if its server is not up. They should be designed to take a configuration parameter that tells them when to give up, and a default value of many minutes/hours or more to deal with basic choreography issues in a cluster. Test clusters can be set up to fail sooner rather than later. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
