Steve Loughran updated HADOOP-3628:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: hadoop-3628.patch

This is the lifecycle patch in sync with SVN head. On my system it appeared to 
pass all tests, and it passes our own set, including ones that check that 
orphan tasktrackers and namenodes can be shut down. There the answer is "yes, 
but it can take up to a minute"

Although I'm marking as "grant license" so that hudson will look at it, I am 
currently going through the approval process for HP to say "we release this 
code to apache". People can d/l and play with it, but no committing, please.



> Add a lifecycle interface for Hadoop components: namenodes, job clients, etc.

> I'd like to propose we have a standard interface for hadoop components, the 
> things that get started or stopped when you bring up a namenode. currently, 
> some of these classes have a stop() or shutdown() method, with no standard 
> name/interface, but no way of seeing if they are live, checking their health 
> of shutting them down reliably. Indeed, there is a tendency for the spawned 
> threads to not want to die; to require the entire process to be killed to 
> stop the workers. 
> Having a standard interface would make it easier for 
>  * management tools to manage the different things
>  * monitoring the state of things
>  * subclassing
> The latter is interesting as right now TaskTracker and JobTracker start up 
> threads in their constructor; that's very dangerous as subclasses may have 
> their methods called before they are full initialised. Adding this interface 
> would be the right time to clean up the startup process so that subclassing 
> is less risky.
