Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-2266:
---------------------------------------
The other other issue is see with the JT shutting itself down is that the TTs
(and HoD) don't know why that happened. If we just implement the *isidle
<for_this_long>*, we could let HoD make the decision to shut down the entire
cluster via the usual scripts... thoughts?
> Provide a command line option to check if a Hadoop jobtracker is idle

> This is an RFE for providing a way to determine from the hadoop command line
> whether a jobtracker is idle. One possibility is to have something like
> hadoop jobtracker -idle <time>. Hadoop would return true (maybe via some
> stdout output) if the jobtracker had no work to do (jobs running / prepared)
> since <time> seconds, false otherwise.
> This would be useful for management / provisioning systems like
> Hadoop-On-Demand [HADOOP-1301], which can then deallocate the idle,
> provisioned clusters automatically, and release resources.
