Ravi Gummadi updated HADOOP-2721:
---------------------------------
Assignee: Ravi Gummadi (was: Devaraj Das)
Release Note: The patch uses setsid when creating new tasks sothat
subprocesses of this process will be with in this new session(and this process
will be the process leader for all the subprocesses). Thus killing the
subprocesses becomes easy(just by killing all the processes in this process
group) when killing the task.
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
Submitting the patch for review....
Please provide your comments. Thanks.
> Use job control for tasks (and therefore for pipes and streaming)

> 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.
