Change subject: IMPALA-4737: Prevent SIGUSR1 from killing daemons when 
minidumps are disabled
......................................................................


Patch Set 2:

No, I do not feel strongly about this.

> > Should any startup scripts be modified to trap '' SIGUSR1 before
 > > launching the daemons since there is still technically a race
 > from
 > > daemon startup to when the mini-dump signal handler is
 > registered?
 > > (Though from what I can tell the typical usage of the SIGUSR1
 > > mini-dump handler would very likely never encounter this race, so
 > > maybe not worth fixing?)
 > 
 > Yes, that race exists, I don't think it's worth fixing though.
 > Human operators should not hit it. Automated scripts that regularly
 > trigger minidumps sending SIGUSR1 could hit this, but I think we
 > should not encourage those anyways. Let me know if you feel
 > strongly about this.
