----------------------------------------
Hemanth,
I could certainly merge this in with HADOOP-3628; I'm busy dealing with svn
merge issues right now, and don't want this held up. I think it would be handy
for me if we could run this on startup and then have ping query the latest
state when checked.

you can run JS direct from a java6 jvm; the script engine is in the box. I've
been wondering what it would take for JS support in MR jobs, but it could be
handy for system health checks too, though native scripts give you the edge for
low level system health.

> 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.
