Sreekanth Ramakrishnan updated HADOOP-5478: ------------------------------------------- Attachment: hadoop-5478-1.patch Attaching first cut patch to address the issue: The patch does following: * Patch requires two configuration items to be present in TaskTracker nodes, {{mapred.tasktracker.health_check_script}} and {{mapred.tasktracker.health_check_interval}} the {{mapred.tasktracker.health_check_script}} needs to be absolute path to script file. If the file does not exist when the TT starts up then the monitor is turned off. * The monitor periodically runs the shell script. It ignores the exit code of the shell script, gets the output from the script, searches for a pattern "ERROR" in the output. * If ERROR is present in output, the monitor, sets health of the node as unhealthy and puts entire output as status to be set to JT. * JT then depending on the value of the health of the node, decides to blacklist or white list the node. * Attached test case which tests black listing and white listing as per output of the script. > 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 > Attachments: hadoop-5478-1.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
