Tom White commented on HADOOP-5640:
-----------------------------------
Overall +1. A few comments:
* The plugin design is actually the listener pattern. For API extensibility it
might be worth considering a ServiceEvent class that is passed to the methods
of ServicePlugin and subclasses so that extra context information can be passed
without breaking plugins. Also, ServicePlugin should be an abstract class.
* Rename PluginDispatcher to ServicePluginDispatcher. There are other plugins
(e.g. MemoryCalculatorPlugin) so it's worth being more precise.
* SingleArgumentRunnable might be named ServicePluginCallback to better
indicate its use.
BTW the latest patch doesn't apply; however it will need regenerating anyway
after the project split.

> HADOOP-5257 added the ability for NameNode and DataNode to start and stop
> ServicePlugin implementations at NN/DN start/stop. However, this is
> insufficient integration for some common use cases.
> We should add some functionality for Plugins to subscribe to events generated
> by the service they're plugging into. Some potential hook points are:
> NameNode:
> - new datanode registered
> - datanode has died
> - exception caught
> - etc?
> DataNode:
> - startup
> - initial registration with NN complete (this is important for HADOOP-4707
> to sync up datanode.dnRegistration.name with the NN-side registration)
> - namenode reconnect
> - some block transfer hooks?
> - exception caught
> I see two potential routes for implementation:
> 1) We make an enum for the types of hookpoints and have a general function in
> the ServicePlugin interface. Something like:
> {code:java}
> enum HookPoint {
> DN_STARTUP,
> DN_RECEIVED_NEW_BLOCK,
> DN_CAUGHT_EXCEPTION,
> ...
> }
> void runHook(HookPoint hp, Object value);
> {code}
> 2) We make classes specific to each "pluggable" as was originally suggested
> in HADDOP-5257. Something like:
> {code:java}
> class DataNodePlugin {
> void datanodeStarted() {}
> void receivedNewBlock(block info, etc) {}
> void caughtException(Exception e) {}
> ...
> }
> {code}
> I personally prefer option (2) since we can ensure plugin API compatibility
> at compile-time, and we avoid an ugly switch statement in a runHook()
> function.
> Interested to hear what people's thoughts are here.
