-------------------------------------------------------------

@owen: Steve's comments seem to imply that we need the capability of launch the 
health checking script in response to external commands.

@Sreekanth: If I understand correctly, the new patch introduces another thread 
to check for command execution timeout. Is there a way to eliminate it 
(possibly by modifying shell execution API to accept timeouts)?

> 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.
