Wendy Chien commented on HADOOP-442:
------------------------------------
To combine exclude and decommission, I've taken out the dsfadmin command
decommission. Starting and stopping decommission is now done through
configured files. The last option in the original decommission command was one
to see the state of the decommission for a set of nodes. Should this option be
combined with refreshNodes or should it still have it's own command (especially
if the decommission state is expanded to show progress or if we want to also
show other states for the nodes)?
> slaves file should include an 'exclude' section, to prevent "bad" datanodes
> and tasktrackers from disrupting a cluster

>
> I recently had a few nodes go bad, such that they were inaccessible to ssh,
> but were still running their java processes.
> tasks that executed on them were failing, causing jobs to fail.
> I couldn't stop the java processes, because of the ssh issue, so I was
> helpless until I could actually power down these nodes.
> restarting the cluster doesn't help, even when removing the bad nodes from
> the slaves file - they just reconnect and are accepted.
> while we plan to avoid tasks from launching on the same nodes over and over,
> what I'd like is to be able to prevent rogue processes from connecting to the
> masters.
> Ideally, the slaves file will contain an 'exclude' section, which will list
> nodes that shouldn't be accessed, and should be ignored if they try to
> connect. That would also help in configuring the slaves file for a large
> cluster - I'd list the full range of machines in the cluster, then list the
> ones that are down in the 'exclude' section
