Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on HADOOP-5784:
-------------------------------------------------

Current heartbeat interval is set to  {{clusterSize / 100}}, and minimum 
interval is capped at 3seconds. 
It assumes that JT can process 100 heartbeats in a second. See 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1900?focusedCommentId=12542530&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_12542530

Now, if we make number of heartbeats that should arrive in a second 
configurable (with default value as 100) , heartbeat interval can be calculated 
as 
{code}
 heartbeatInterval = max((clusterSize / #heartbeats in a second),  
HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_MIN) ;
{code}

Thoughts?

> 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.
