----------------------------------------
Patch looks good to me. Roman, can you comment on what testing you did of this
patch?
+1 pending Jenkins and an answer to the above question.
> hadoop-daemon.sh and yarn-daemon.sh can be misleading on stop

> The way that stop actions is implemented is a simple SIGTERM sent to the JVM.
> There's a time delay between when the action is called and when the process
> actually exists. This can be misleading to the callers of the *-daemon.sh
> scripts since they expect stop action to return when process is actually
> stopped.
> I suggest we augment the stop action with a time-delay check for the process
> status and a SIGKILL once the delay has expired.
> I understand that sending SIGKILL is a measure of last resort and is
> generally frowned upon among init.d script writers, but the excuse we have
> for Hadoop is that it is engineered to be a fault tolerant system and thus
> there's not danger of putting system into an incontinent state by a violent
> SIGKILL. Of course, the time delay will be long enough to make SIGKILL event
> a rare condition.
> Finally, there's always an option of an exponential back-off type of solution
> if we decide that SIGKILL timeout is short.
