Ivan Mitic commented on MAPREDUCE-4260:
---------------------------------------
Thanks! Looking forward to the update patch. Also, it might be interesting to
take a look at TestKillSubProcesses test, as the test has been disabled because
setsid is not supported on Windows. Might be a good place to test the new
functionality. (I accidentally run into this while searching for
DISABLEWINDOWS_TEMPORARILY :) ).
> Investigate use of JobObject to spawn tasks on Windows

> Currently, the Windows version spawns the task as a normal cmd shell from
> which other downstream exe's are spawned. However, this is not bullet proof
> because if an intermediate process exits before its child exits, then the
> parent child process tree relationship cannot be constructed. Windows has a
> concept of JobObject that is similar to the setsid behavior used in Linux.
> The initial spawned task could be launched within its JobObject. Thereafter,
> process termination, memory management etc could be operated on the JobObject.
