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. > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5784 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5784 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
