FWIW: have you taken a look at the event notification mechanisms in PMIx yet? 
The intent there, among other features, is to provide async notification of 
events generated either by the system (e.g., node failures and/or congestion) 
or other application processes.

OMPI includes PMIx support beginning with OMPI v2.0, and various RMs are 
releasing their integrated support as well.
