Eric Badger commented on YARN-9809:
-----------------------------------
I can see pros and cons to both approaches. On the one hand, if the health
check script fails to execute properly, that's not good and could imply
something bad. But health check scripts are pretty dangerous since they can
take out an entire cluster if they're written improperly. So if someone updates
the script and all of a sudden the script errors out, the whole cluster is
unhealthy. Or the health check script could rely on querying a service and that
service times out. The node is healthy, but the health check script returned
error. Unless you are parsing for specific error codes, you can no longer
differentiate between the health check script failing internally and the health
check script returning successfully that the node is unhealthy.
Regardless of this discussion though, this is outside of the scope of this
JIRA. That's an issue with how the health check script is handled while this
JIRA is just about providing a health status at NM startup
> NMs should supply a health status when registering with RM

> Currently if the NM registers with the RM and it is unhealthy, it can be
> scheduled many containers before the first heartbeat. After the first
