-----------------------------------

             Summary: DataNode Lifeline Protocol: an alternative protocol for reporting DataNode liveness
                 Key: HDFS-9239
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9239
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: datanode, namenode
            Reporter: Chris Nauroth
            Assignee: Chris Nauroth
         Attachments: DataNode-Lifeline-Protocol.pdf

This issue proposes introduction of a new feature: the DataNode Lifeline Protocol.  This is an RPC protocol that is responsible for reporting liveness and basic health information about a DataNode to a NameNode.  Compared to the existing heartbeat messages, it is lightweight and not prone to resource contention problems that can harm accurate tracking of DataNode liveness currently.  The attached design document contains more details.
