             Summary: DUCC RM: Reenable purge bit
                 Key: UIMA-3129
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3129
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: DUCC
            Reporter: Jim Challenger
            Assignee: Jim Challenger
             Fix For: 1.0-Ducc


We had disabled RM's 'purge' bit because of a race with the Agent.  Changes to 
the agent eliminate the race.

The 'purge' bit is set when a machine misses some number of heartbeats. RM 
considers the node "down" and evict the shares, similar to preemption.  Without 
the 'purge' bit the OR will wait for confirmation from agents that the 
processes are stopped, but if the agent is not responding, the confirmation may 
never come and the processes will be "stuck".

The 'purge' bit is used to tell OR that the shares are being evicted because of 
suspected agent death, so OR can clean up right away and not look for 
confirmation.
