Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-5478: ---------------------------------------- One thing to consider here is do you really want to run the health check in-VM, or do you want to bring up a second monitoring VM that can do the health checks, keep an eye on the VM running the node, and not be a threat to the stability of the main VM itself. > 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.
