Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-5478: ------------------------------------------ bq.We are using a new port number for the TT to bind to for the health checker script to send updates. The other option was to use the same port as that used for the TaskUmbilicalProtocol. We thought the health service should not mix with child tasks reporting status and hence kept it different. This is disappointing. Hadoop has enough ports open that I think it qualifies as a cheese. > 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: Sreekanth Ramakrishnan > Attachments: hadoop-5478-1.patch, hadoop-5478-2.patch, > hadoop-5478-3.patch, hadoop-5478-4.patch, hadoop-5478-5.patch > > > Hadoop must have some mechanism to find the health status of a node .
