Todd Lipcon resolved HBASE-2342.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I think this has been obviated by other work, in particular nkeywal's work to
kill the ZK node as soon as the RS dies. We can re-open this if anyone sees a
good reason.
> Consider adding a watchdog node next to region server

> Key: HBASE-2342
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2342
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: regionserver
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> This idea has been bandied about a fair amount. The concept is to add a
> second java process that runs next to each region server to act as a
> watchdog. Several possible purposes:
> - monitor the RS for liveness - if it exhibits Juliet syndrome ("appears
> dead") then we kill it agressively to prevent it from coming back to life
> - restart RS automatically in failure cases
> - potentially move the entire ZK session to the watchdog to decouple node
> liveness from the particular JVM liveness
> Let's discuss in this JIRA.
