I think, I have ran mutiple monitor processes, perhaps in some version of 1.5. I was forgotten about the hotstandby nature of Monitor process. And yes I was using a wrong command :(. Thanks for pointing.

I was using /*"*//*./stop-server.sh $hostname monitor"*/ to stop monitor process
But I should have used
/*"./stop-server.sh $hostname $ACCUMULO_HOME/.*/accumulo-start.*.jar monitor TERM*/"
which I found in the stop-all.sh script.

I suppose there were more than two processes running when I tried to stop with the command It didn't stop so I killed that on server orkash5 and started on server orkash1. But it was already running on some other server which I was restricting it. When I killed the process today it moved to another which I confirmed with `get /accumuo/<your_instance_id>/monitor/http_addr` thanks.

This seems resolved :)

That's... strange. We don't automatically start any processes, so I'd recommend you investigate what commands you're running :)

The Monitor, like the Master, is designed to operated only when one instance is running. If you have multiple Monitors running, you might, for example, see the "Recent Logs" split across multiple instances. As such, we use ZooKeeper as a barrier to prevent multiple Monitor servers from running. This let's us have some "hot-standby" instances for the cluster which enable you to avoid any downtime (e.g. if an operations team is relying on the monitor to be running)

As such, it's possible that you'll see a monitor process running, but the web server inside the process is not. You can check ZooKeeper (zkCli.sh) for the active Monitor:

`get /accumuo/<your_instance_id>/monitor/http_addr`

> Please also tell when are you planning to release Accumulo-1.7.1 as I am also facing some issues which i found fixed there. when I checked, It was expected to release on 15-Dec-2015 but Perhaps delayed for the last left bug fix, I suppose.

1.7.1 is on it's way out. We don't have firm dates that software will be released, so the best I can give is "soon".

After we get the open issues on JIRA cleaned up, we'll have to run it through some testing. Hopefully we can get it out the door while it's still January.
