> When a failure occurs during RU/EU and the task transitions to HOLDING_FAILED
> or HOLDING_TIMEDOUT, want Ambari to automatically retry up to up to x mins.
> This is useful when a host goes down as Ambari is running a task on it.
> ambari.properties will have 1 new parameter. E.g,.
> stack-upgrade.max_retry_timeout_mins=15 (by default, will not be present)
> If Ambari Server is restarted, it should be able to recover.
> Today, Action Scheduler increases the attempt_count whenever a task is
> retried, but it requires resetting the start_time to -1. Because of this, we
> cannot rely on the start_time property to know when to timeout after several
> retries.
> For the implementation, will add another thread to Ambari that will monitor
> failed tasks only during active RU/EU and change the status back to PENDING
> so that Action Scheduler can reschedule it.
> Luckily, any tasks in HOLDING_TIMEDOUT and HOLDING_FAILED states are
> blocking, so no other stages are allowed to proceed.
> In order to know when a task was first started, will add a new property to
> host_role_command table called original_start_time.
> For the agents, we need to ensure that they always write out a response. On
> the first heartbeat, it should send the status of its last command so we know
> it failed and Ambari can retry.
