Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-5478:
---------------------------------------

One thing that bothers me is that it requires a fork and we've already seen 
that forks are expensive for   our servers. We'll also need a timer if the fork 
locks up to count as a failure.

> Provide a node health check script and run it periodically to check the node 
> health status

> 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.
