Benjamin Hindman commented on MESOS-741:
----------------------------------------
Took a brief look at https://reviews.apache.org/r/22579 and saw the outcome of
" I propose that we pass the PID of the executor to the health-checker program
and send protobufs back with the health updates". Any reason not to just have
the health-checker output the protobufs on it's stdout? It could even do this
as JSON for human consumption and/ as recordio as we're already doing in
src/usage/main.cpp for the mesos-usage utility. The value here is that the tool
becomes standalone that someone can compose with even if they don't have the
executor-like model.
> Add health checking for tasks

> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Story
> Components: master, slave
> Reporter: Niklas Quarfot Nielsen
> Assignee: Timothy Chen
>
> Determining the health of a task during its lifetime (during start up, while
> it is running, shutting down etc.) can be considered a more elaborate matter
> than only observing its process state.
> The task health might be determined by any combination of observable
> behavior; for example the process being listening to a certain range of
> ports, writing certain files or pipes, responding to messages, utilizing
> resources to or below certain thresholds etc.
> It could be a powerful extension to extend the interface for launching and
> running tasks by an optional HealthCommand message. This message could encode:
> 1) A command to be run at the slave to determine the health of the task. The
> return value of the command will tell if the task is healthy or unhealthy.
> 2) An interval which to run the health command.
> In connection with this, it could make sense to introduce new healthy and
> unhealthy task states.
