Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-5478: ------------------------------------------ bq. This is disappointing. Hadoop has enough ports open that I think it qualifies as a cheese. I was counting on you to object, Allen *smile*. What do others feel ? I guess we could piggyback on the port used for the TaskUmbilicalProtocol - need Sreekanth to confirm this though. The main concern is if it will interfere with the processing of the tasks reporting their status to TT. To be clear though, the amount of work done in the RPC for the health reporter call is minimal - it just sets two variables. > 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 .
