> 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.
