Tom White commented on HDFS-326:
--------------------------------
bq. switch to Git to keep changes more isolated
And make maintaining patches easier (using rebase). See
http://www.apache.org/dev/git.html#workflow.
bq. get the base changes into -common, then worry about hdfs and mapred as
separate issue
+1 This should make the changes more isolated too, and make them easier to
review.
> Add a lifecycle interface for Hadoop components: namenodes, job clients, etc.

> I'd like to propose we have a standard interface for hadoop components, the
> things that get started or stopped when you bring up a namenode. currently,
> some of these classes have a stop() or shutdown() method, with no standard
> name/interface, but no way of seeing if they are live, checking their health
> of shutting them down reliably. Indeed, there is a tendency for the spawned
> threads to not want to die; to require the entire process to be killed to
> stop the workers.
> Having a standard interface would make it easier for
> * management tools to manage the different things
> * monitoring the state of things
> * subclassing
> The latter is interesting as right now TaskTracker and JobTracker start up
> threads in their constructor; that's very dangerous as subclasses may have
> their methods called before they are full initialised. Adding this interface
> would be the right time to clean up the startup process so that subclassing
> is less risky.
