Hong Tang commented on HADOOP-5478: ----------------------------------- bq. Maybe one simple solution is to send a timestamp with the TaskTrackerStatus report about when the health checker was last run. I am of course borrowing the idea from the information we have about when the last heartbeat was received from a TT. We could use that information to find out trackers that haven't updated their health for longer than a certain interval. Would that work ? I like it. > 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 .
