Dhruba's option sounds a bit better in that sense, since the burden of choosing the tasktrackers to be decommissioned is pushed to some external tool. > Elegant decommission of lighty loaded tasktrackers from a map-reduce cluster > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6082 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6082 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapred > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: Namit Jain > > There is a need to elegantly move some machines from one map-reduce cluster > to another.
