Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-3901:
--------------------------------------

Looks like this patch is missing the "Stopwatch" class, and so doesn't compile.
                
> QJM: send 'heartbeat' messages to JNs even when they are out-of-sync

> Currently, if one of the JNs has fallen out of sync with the writer (eg 
> because it went down), it will be marked as such until the next log roll. 
> This causes the writer to no longer send any RPCs to it. This means that the 
> JN's metrics will no longer reflect up-to-date information on how far laggy 
> they are.
> This patch will introduce a heartbeat() RPC that has no effect except to 
> update the JN's view of the latest committed txid. When the writer is talking 
> to an out-of-sync logger, it will send these heartbeat messages once a second.
> In a future patch we can extend the heartbeat functionality so that NNs 
> periodically check their connections to JNs if no edits arrive, such that a 
> fenced NN won't accidentally continue to serve reads indefinitely.
