Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-5478: ------------------------------------------ We were chatting a bit about this at staff today. One of the topics that came up was what should happen if the TaskTracker is found to be in a bad state. The general agreement was that it should be blacklisted with the option of coming back to life. This helps prevents transient problems from becoming permanent problems. > Provide a node health check script and run it periodically to check the node > health status > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-5478 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5478 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.20.0 > Reporter: Aroop Maliakkal > > Hadoop must have some mechanism to find the health status of a node . It > should run the health check script periodically and if there is any errors, > it should black list the node. This will be really helpful when we run static > mapred clusters. Else we may have to run some scripts/daemons periodically to > find the node status and take it offline manually. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
