Hong Tang commented on HADOOP-5478: ----------------------------------- @hemanth The problem is that if there is something wrong that prevents the health checker from communicating to TT, health checker would quit voluntarily without TT's knowledge. So the value of this health checker service could be discounted. But on a second thought, I think maybe we should stop worrying about that for now and defer more complex logic to a later time. > 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 .
