Michael Bieniosek commented on HADOOP-2266:
-------------------------------------------

It's possible to do this through the JobClient API currently.

> Provide a command line option to check if a Hadoop jobtracker is idle

> 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.
