Hmm, it looks like we no longer directly associate the process ID with
the client session. There is a "client metadata" config option you can
fill in with arbitrary "key=value[,key2=value2]* strings if you can
persuade Hadoop to set that to something useful on each individual
process. If you have logging or admin sockets enabled then you should
also be able to find them named by client ID and trace those back to
the pid with standard linux tooling.

I've created a ticket to put this back in as part of the standard
metadata: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/17276
