Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-5784:
----------------------------------------

is the goal here to detect failures of data nodes, or to have an up to date 
track of which task trackers have capacity?



> The length of the heartbeat cycle should be configurable.

> Currently, the hearbeat cycle is set to (# nodes / 100) in seconds. This can 
> be too long for clusters that need to run low latency jobs. We should make 
> the number of heartbeats that should arrive a second configurable.
