> Not nullify variable {{rj}} to avoid NPE due to race condition in ExecDriver.
> currently {{rj}} is set to null in ExecDriver.shutdown which is called from
> other thread for query cancellation. It can happen at any time. There is a
> potential race condition, the {{rj}} is still accessed after shutdown is
> called. For example: if the following code is executed right after
> ExecDriver.shutdown is called.
> {code}
> this.jobID = rj.getJobID();
> updateStatusInQueryDisplay();
> returnVal = jobExecHelper.progress(rj, jc, ctx);
> {code}
> Currently the purpose of nullifying {{rj}} is mainly to make sure
> {{rj.killJob()}} is only called once.
> I will add a flag {{jobKilled}} to make sure {{rj.killJob()}} will be only
> called once.
