Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-4724:
---------------------------------------

>  What property names to use?
Should we have one property per kind of ipc client? Something like 
datanode.connect.timeout, tasktracker.connect.timeout, 
dfsclient.connect.timeout...

>  What are reasonable defaults for production systems?
I am thinking to start with a large number like 1 hour or 1 day. It is at least 
backwards compatible. 

> TaskTracker, DataNode, and SecondaryNameNode should timeout on waiting for 
> its server to be up

> TaskTracker, DataNode, and SecondaryNameNode currently wait forever if its 
> server is not up. They should be designed to take a configuration parameter 
> that tells them when to give up, and a default value of many minutes/hours or 
> more to deal with basic choreography issues in a cluster. Test clusters can 
> be set up to fail sooner rather than later.
