Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on HADOOP-1380:
-------------------------------------------------

I think the sub processes created from streaming/pipes tasks (a fork() call 
from map) should also be destroyed. But the patch doesnotdo so. It destroys 
only the pipes/streaming task, but not the children of it.

> We should have a util.Subprocess class with utilities for starting 
> subprocesses

> I'd like a utility class for launching subprocesses. In particular, I want 
> there to be a list of launched subprocesses and when the jvm is shutdown, a 
> hook will destroy all of the subprocesses. Otherwise, when a task is killed, 
> the subprocesses continue on.
