Allen Wittenauer resolved MAPREDUCE-229.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
I'm going to close this as fixed.
Clients can ask the JT if they are currently busy. By doing this periodically,
they can build an idle time.
> Provide a command line option to check if a Hadoop jobtracker is idle

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-229
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala
>
> 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.
