Stop Local Job Threads

[Ben Vachon]

Hi all,

I'm running Nutch 2.3.1 over a standalone HBase instance with no yarn or 
hdfs. This means that the jobs get run through 
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.LocalJobRunner which doesn't support killing 
mapred tasks. I've set it up so that all of the nutch threads get run in 
the same ThreadGroup and I've been trying to iterate over all the 
threads in that group and call interrupt on them, but they seem to just 
be swallowing the exceptions. I've been testing stopping during the 
fetch job specifically.

Does any one know how to stop a locally run Nutch mapreduce job before 
it completes?

Thanks,

Ben V.
