> In MAPREDUCE-211 we came across a need to provide an option to timeout
> commands launched via the ShellCommandExecutor. The use case is for the
> health check script being developed in MAPREDUCE-211. We would like the
> TaskTracker thread to not be blocked by a problematic script or in instances
> where fork()+exec() has hung (which apparently has been observed in large
> clusters).
