IPC server should set SO_KEEPALIVE to the accepted sockets
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6459
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6459
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
            Reporter: Qi Liu


When there is some unexpected network outage or client-side issue, the network 
connection could stay alive forever, due to the lack of keep alive. We have 
observed such dead connection in name node. Though it has no known performance 
hits, but it is a waste of resource. Adding SO_KEEPALIVE to all accepted 
sockets should not be heavy, since the keep alive TCP packets will only be sent 
once every four hours.
