Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-4724:
----------------------------------------

+1 for this. It's useful for development and  easy to test (start these nodes 
with nothing to bond to), 

* What property names to use?
* What are reasonable defaults for production systems? 

For minidfs we can run with a configuration that times out much faster; the 
default timeout should be adequate for people setting up basic clusters on  
real/virtual machines without any assumptions about NTP working :)

> TaskTracker, DataNode, and SecondaryNameNode should timeout on waiting for 
> its server to be up

> 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.
