Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-5478:
----------------------------------------
# timestamps would help, would push more analysis up to whoever is asking the
TT.
# If the main RPC is so owverwhelmed it can't answer a health query, that's a
sign of a problem anyway. Your TT is no longer _live_
The health checking would fit in with the notion of a {{Ping}} operation, as
raised in HADOOP-5622. Every service should have a way of saying "are you up".
The failure to answer the query: trouble. If the call returns with an error:
trouble. If the call returns saying it is well, then all you know is that the
service thinks it is well, but still may not be capable of useful work.
What this operation does do is set more requirements on what gets returned -you
probably want to return something machine readable, that can be extended by
different services, depending on their view of the world. A hashtable
containing writable stuff, perhaps.

> 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.
