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.

> Hadoop must have some mechanism to find the health status of a node . It 
> should run the health check script periodically and if there is any errors, 
> it should black list the node. This will be really helpful when we run static 
> mapred clusters. Else we may have to run some scripts/daemons periodically to 
> find the node status and take it offline manually.
