Sameer Paranjpye commented on HADOOP-4236:
------------------------------------------

When is a JobInProgress created, as soon as a job is submitted or when it is 
considered for running??

If the former then having a 'initStarted' flag would make sense. Because {{if 
(!initStarted)}} then it could be a long time before a job is considered for 
running and it'll hang around in the queue, killed but not purged. If so, I 
think this patch does the right thing.

Regardless of whether or not we need an {{initStarted}} flag,  I think it's 
cleaner to create a {{JobInitKillStatus}} class with the flags as members and 
synchronizie around an instance of this class.

As far as this patch goes, I think
{code}
synchronized(tasksInited){
  if(jobKilled) {
    terminateJob(JobStatus.KILLED);
    return;
  }
  initStarted = true;
}
{code}

should just be

{code}
synchronized(tasksInited){
  if(jobKilled) {
    return;
  }
  initStarted = true;
}
{code}
