Robert Joseph Evans commented on STORM-183:
-------------------------------------------

It is mostly to cover all possible situations.  In unix a process can install a 
handler for SIGTERM and actually ignore it entirely.  But SIGKILL cannot be 
ignored.  The OS will not give the user process any chance to handle it.  Java 
handles SIGTERM and calls System.exit when it happens.  But if the shutdown 
handlers lock up for some reason we have effectively ignored the SIGTERM.  In 
my case something happened so the executor would not exit, not sure why, but 
this caused the shutdown to never finish. 

> Supervisor/worker shutdown hook should be called in distributed mode.

> if the process is killed forcefully from the OS or if it's crashing due to 
> resource issues (e.g., out of memory), shutdown hooks won't be invoked.
> -TERM (15) 
> The process is requested to stop running; it should try to exit cleanly 
> -KILL (9) 
> The process will be killed by the kernel; this signal cannot be ignored.
> So should we better use 'kill -15' ?

> will never be called for worker:
> https://github.com/apache/incubator-storm/blob/master/storm-core/src/clj/backtype/storm/daemon/worker.clj#L421
> We'd better add something like :
> (.addShutdownHook (Runtime/getRuntime) (Thread. (fn [] (.shutdown mk-sv))))))
