Steve Loughran updated HDFS-326:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: HDFS-326.patch

This is the patches for the -hdfs JAR to bring the NN and DN under the 
lifecycle patch supplied with the latest version of HADOOP-6194. I'm not 
submitting it as a patch as it will only build against that version; it's here 
for people to see. The tests all appear to pass on my machine.

This patch has a few interesting features
# Does not start the service in the constructor, to make subclassing it safer 
-the secondary NN benefits from this
# Relies on the static factory methods to create and start instances of primary 
or secondary NNs.
# Adds more shutdown logic.

The extra shutdown stuff could be separated off from the rest of the patch and 
applied first -it would make this patch smaller.

> 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.
