    Attachment: hadoop-442-8.patch

I still need to make changes to TestDecommission, but I wanted to put up a patch for reviews.

> I recently had a few nodes go bad, such that they were inaccessible to ssh, but were still running their java processes.
> tasks that executed on them were failing, causing jobs to fail.
> I couldn't stop the java processes, because of the ssh issue, so I was helpless until I could actually power down these nodes.
> restarting the cluster doesn't help, even when removing the bad nodes from the slaves file - they just reconnect and are accepted.
> while we plan to avoid tasks from launching on the same nodes over and over, what I'd like is to be able to prevent rogue processes from connecting to the masters.
> Ideally, the slaves file will contain an 'exclude' section, which will list nodes that shouldn't be accessed, and should be ignored if they try to connect. That would also help in configuring the slaves file for a large cluster - I'd list the full range of machines in the cluster, then list the ones that are down in the 'exclude' section
