Use job control for tasks (and therefore for pipes and streaming)

                 Key: HADOOP-2721
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2721
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/streaming, mapred, pipes
            Reporter: Owen O'Malley
            Assignee: Devaraj Das
             Fix For: 0.17.0


We should use the setsid command when the task is launched to create a new 
session. We should be able to use the setsid program when we launch the bash 
process to create a new session. That will allow us to kill the entire session 
with a single signal and remove the need for the ping methods in both 
TaskTracker.Child and pipes.
