Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-5478: ---------------------------------------- -this fits in well with the ping/liveness stuff I've been doing. I already do this with things that GET the various JSP pages of a node, checking the health of the jetty endpoints. when those pages return a non-200 code, I return an error that includes the entire HTTP page sent back, as that is often useful. # It may be handy to have this stuff independent of the TT itself, so you can run a node-health checker on anything, and even if the TT refuses to play, you could do some checking of the node. # Also, could it be a bit of JavaScript instead of a shell script? # A scenario to worry about is what if something bad happens (e.g. a bit of NFS goes away) that causes all health checks in a big cluster to fail simultaneously. Would this overload the JT? # Incidentally, I could imagine some scripts being slow, so I wouldnt have my ping code run the .sh every call, but instead run it on a regular frequency; a ping() would return the latest results. > 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 > Assignee: Vinod K V > > Hadoop must have some mechanism to find the health status of a node .
