    so I took a quick look at this and I agree with you that ideally its 
returning ones actually removed, but right now I don't see any of the backends 
actually returning anything other then true unless its something catastrophic 
where it wouldn't matter if the executor list is 1 or many.
     Yarn mode right now always returns true (ApplicationMaster KillExecutors 
endpoint). Standalone mode only return false if the app doesn't exist so if we 
pass 1 or many executors doesn't matter, mesos mode only returns false if the 
mesosdriver is null.
    
    So changing the interface to do the right things seems like it can be a 
separate issue then this one.  or perhaps I missed something?
    
    
    But it looks like there are a few cases that mesos and standalone mode do 
return false.
