Ravi Prakash commented on MAPREDUCE-4135: ----------------------------------------- This is a particularly vexing problem. :( I can think of two ways out of this 1. Swallow IllegalStateExceptions thrown by removeShutdownHook in FileSystem. The javadoc states: {quote}public boolean removeShutdownHook(Thread hook) Throws: IllegalStateException - If the virtual machine is already in the process of shutting down {quote} So if we are getting this exception, it MEANS we are already in the process of shutdown, so we CANNOT, try what we may, removeShutdownHook. If Runtime had a method Runtime.isShutdownInProgress(), we could have checked for it before the removeShutdownHook call. As it stands, there is no such method. In my opinion, this would be a good patch regardless of the needs for this JIRA. 2. Not send SIGTERMs from the NM to the MR-AM in the first place. Rather we should expose a mechanism for the NM to politely tell the AM its no longer needed and should shutdown asap. Even after this, if an admin were to kill the MRAppMaster with a SIGTERM, the JobHistory would be lost defeating the purpose of 3614 > MRAppMaster throws IllegalStateException while shutting down > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4135 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4135 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 3.0.0 > Reporter: Devaraj K > Assignee: Devaraj K > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-4135.patch, MAPREDUCE-4135.patch > > > Always MRAppMaster throws IllegalStateException in the stderr while shutting > down.
