Karthik Kambatla commented on MAPREDUCE-5005:
---------------------------------------------

Possible approaches:

# Throw in a sleep before checking, and hopefully the process would have 
received the signal. Simple to do, but need not always work.
# Check if the process died OR (the signal has been delivered AND the process 
is not stuck in kernel mode)
                
> TestProcfsProcessTree#testProcessTree() doesn't wait long enough for the 
> process to die

> TestProcfsProcessTree#testProcessTree fails occasionally with the following 
> stack trace
> {noformat}
> Stack Trace:
> junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: expected:<false> but was:<true>
>         at 
> org.apache.hadoop.util.TestProcfsBasedProcessTree.testProcessTree(TestProcfsBasedProcessTree.java)
> {noformat}
> kill -9 is executed asynchronously, the signal is delivered when the process 
> comes out of the kernel (sys call). Checking if the process died immediately 
> after can fail at times.
