Subject: Re: [jira] Commented: (HADOOP-181) task trackers should not restart
 for having a late heartbeat

(RESEND, MENT TO ATTACH THE COMMENT BELOW TO THIS POSTING)

Why don't we include documenting this as part of the the "map-reduce  
walk-through" sprint item?

-----
On reintegrating lost task trackers...

It does seem like we should do this to me, but we need to make sure  
we reason through how this effects corner cases, what invariants the  
system does maintain and so on.

I suggest we work this through, and then go forward with this patch  
(modified if we find any corner cases) and post the reasoning, so we  
can review it as this logic evolves.  (And update any existing  
documentation in this area of course...)
