Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-4510:
-------------------------------------

This is trickier than I thought. The problem is that heartbeats are in fact 
generated on the master side (not on the forked JVM) based on the activity in 
the event stream for a particular forked JVM (that's why it was possible to 
generate a heartbeat from an "unknown" location in the test execution 
timeline). The naming is confusing here, blame me.

To generate a stack trace of the forked JVM we'd need to do it remotely (and 
know its PID) or do it locally (and propagate it back to the master). This 
isn't a trivial refactoring, I'll need some time to do it. In the mean time 
I'll release the fix for the shutdown hooks issue -- this should help in 
getting those stalled runs to complete (with a suite timeout on forked JVMs and 
corresponding stack traces).

> We've had numerous cases where tests were hung but the "operator" of that 
> particular Jenkins instance struggles to properly get a stack dump for all 
> threads and eg accidentally kills the process instead (rather awful that the 
> same powerful tool "kill" can be used to get stack traces and to destroy the 
> process...).
> Is there some way the test infra could do this for us, eg when it prints the 
> HEARTBEAT message?
