It could be as simple as checking the pid file and the corresponding process in the system. For example, for hiveserver2 the file on hiveserver2 node it would be /var/run/hive/hive_server.pid. If the process number in the file is not matching with the running hiveserver2 process, it would show the process as stopped.
