Unsurprisingly the patch fell out of date against trunk. This is the same patch, rebased. Its tests still pass.

> HADOOP-5257 added the ability for NameNode and DataNode to start and stop ServicePlugin implementations at NN/DN start/stop. However, this is insufficient integration for some common use cases.
> We should add some functionality for Plugins to subscribe to events generated by the service they're plugging into. Some potential hook points are:
> NameNode:
>   - new datanode registered
>   - datanode has died
>   - exception caught
>   - etc?
> DataNode:
>   - startup
>   - initial registration with NN complete (this is important for HADOOP-4707 to sync up datanode.dnRegistration.name with the NN-side registration)
>   - namenode reconnect
>   - some block transfer hooks?
>   - exception caught
> I see two potential routes for implementation:
> 1) We make an enum for the types of hookpoints and have a general function in the ServicePlugin interface. Something like:
> {code:java}
> enum HookPoint {
>   DN_STARTUP,
>   DN_RECEIVED_NEW_BLOCK,
>   DN_CAUGHT_EXCEPTION,
>  ...
> }
> void runHook(HookPoint hp, Object value);
> {code}
> 2) We make classes specific to each "pluggable" as was originally suggested in HADDOP-5257. Something like:
> {code:java}
> class DataNodePlugin {
>   void datanodeStarted() {}
>   void receivedNewBlock(block info, etc) {}
>   void caughtException(Exception e) {}
>   ...
> }
> {code}
> I personally prefer option (2) since we can ensure plugin API compatibility at compile-time, and we avoid an ugly switch statement in a runHook() function.
> Interested to hear what people's thoughts are here.
