Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-5478:
------------------------------------------

bq. when the health check fails to report status to TT, try to do a "kill -9" 
for the TT ...

Hong, is this to check if the TT is alive ? In which case, did you mean another 
signal, like -0 or kill -3. -9 is SIGKILL and would kill the TT. Also, in that 
case are you suggesting that we could keep the health checker around and 
continue trying to report after a while ?

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

> 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.
