Good idea!
Given the fact that we are stabilizing at the moment (and this is
introducing new functionality), I vote to postpone that to after the 0.9
release. That would be two weeks or so, if things go well.
Until then, here are a few thoughts
- Terminate sounds like a very non-graceful killing. What this does is
the opposite, so how about calling it "stop" signal.
- We will need a way to stop streaming jobs and perform a checkpoint
during the stopping. Would be good to bear this in mind. Can we add this as
part of this pull request?
