[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-1954) start task tracker and stop task tracker scripts

["Nikhil Mulley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1954?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13269030#comment-13269030 ] 

Nikhil Mulley commented on HADOOP-1954:
---------------------------------------

My approach to this would be to have a script which knows what are the current task trackers online and connected currently to the JobTracker, should be issued an RPC command, to get restarted. That ways, I can restart all my tasktrackers in my cluster restarted from a single host/place(i.e.,. where the jobtracker is running upon).

Here is the thing, I would propose:
have another script named 'mapred-cluster.sh' with the following options.

   mapred-cluster.sh [jobtracker|tasktracker] [options]

        jobtracker   start|stop|restart     # this would restart only the jobtracker component of the cluster
       
        tasktracker  [-h comma seperated hostnames|ipaddress|all] start|stop|restart     # this should based on the argument value provided by -h option, should initiate the action as noted by start|stop|restart. If -h option is not provided, assume it is the localhost. If 'all' is provided as an argument value to the option -h, then it should initiate a (batch?) restart of all the tasktrackers connected to the jobtracker.

Let me know how does it sound to guys. Anyone willing to code a patch/hookup a jar for this? :-)
