Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-4659:
---------------------------------------
Yes, I really like the idea of having timeout in waitForProxy when TaskTracker,
DataNode, and SecondaryNameNode connect to a server. I would propose to do this
in the trunk in a separate jira since it is not a regression. How do you think?
> Root cause of connection failure is being lost to code that uses it for
> delaying startup

> ipc.Client the root cause of a connection failure is being lost as the
> exception is wrapped, hence the outside code, the one that looks for that
> root cause, isn't working as expected. The results is you can't bring up a
> task tracker before job tracker, and probably the same for a datanode before
> a namenode. The change that triggered this is not yet located, I had thought
> it was HADOOP-3844 but I no longer believe this is the case.
