Ankur commented on HADOOP-3818:
-------------------------------

We faced the same issue and the workaround that we did was to register a SIGNAL 
handler in the application code that would re
cieve a the TERM signal before shutdown hooks are invoked. However this 
introduces a dependency on Sun's misc package which generates a compiler 
warning stating the package might be de-supported in Sun's JDK.

I think a better solution would be for FileSystem to expose an API to register 
application cleanup code and guarantee that the code is invoked ahead of the 
code in filesystem shutdown hook.

> FileSystem uses addShutdownHook to close all FileSystems at exit.  This makes 
> it impossible to access a FileSystem from within your own ShutdownHook 
> threads, say for deleting incomplete output.  Using a pre-existing FileSystem 
> object is unsafe since it may be closed by the time the thread executes.  
> Using FileSystem.get(...) results in an exception:
> Exception in thread "Thread-10" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Shutdown in 
> progress
>       at java.lang.Shutdown.add(Shutdown.java:81)
>       at java.lang.Runtime.addShutdownHook(Runtime.java:190)
