Github user tgravescs commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/9946#issuecomment-161308748 Well the users shouldn't have been using non-daemon threads in the first place, they spawned them while a task was running and then never cleaned them up. We asked them to change that. I can't think of any scenarios where the user should be relying on anything running past when the users task code exits as it would just be a natural race condition. the task finishes and the driver could kill the container, it could finish the app and yarn could kill the container, etc. whatever they are doing may or may not finish anyway.
