Sangjin Lee commented on HADOOP-12364: -------------------------------------- There are service management mechanisms (e.g. monit restart) that are somewhat haphazard in terms of the stop and start timing. We came across that issue. I wouldn't quite call this bug a blocker (probably a minor bug), but it's definitely useful defensive fix. +1 for it. > Deleting pid file after stop is causing the daemons to keep restarting > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-12364 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12364 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Reporter: Siqi Li > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: HADOOP-12364.v1.patch > > > pid files are deleting in 5 seconds after we stop the daemons. If a start > command were executed within the 5 seconds, the pid file will be overwrite > with a new pid. However, this pid file is going to be deleted by the former > stop command. This is causing the monitoring service to lose track of the > daemons, hence keep rebooting them -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
