> If a datanode ever times out on a heart beat, it gets marked dead permanently. I am finding that on AWS this is a periodic occurrence, i.e., datanodes time out although the datanode process is still alive. The current solution to this is to kill and restart each such process independently. 
> It would be good if there were more retry logic (e.g., blacklisting the nodes but try heartbeats for a longer period before determining they are apparently dead). It would also be good if refreshNodes would check and attempt to recover timed out data nodes.
