> 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
