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 > 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-5478-2.patch, > hadoop-5478-3.patch > > > Hadoop must have some mechanism to find the health status of a node .
