Chris Nauroth commented on YARN-445:
------------------------------------
I haven't had a chance to look at this patch, but I did want to link to
MAPREDUCE-5387. We have discussed the possibility of using
{{SetConsoleCtrlHandler}}/{{GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent}} to approximate SIGTERM
on Windows. (The current task termination logic on Windows is more like a
SIGKILL.) Perhaps this patch could be a foundation for that.

> It would be nice if an ApplicationMaster could send signals to contaniers
> such as SIGQUIT, SIGUSR1, etc.
> For example, in order to replicate the jstack-on-task-timeout feature
> implemented by MAPREDUCE-1119 in Hadoop 0.21 the NodeManager needs an
> interface for sending SIGQUIT to a container. For that specific feature we
> could implement it as an additional field in the StopContainerRequest.
> However that would not address other potential features like the ability for
> an AM to trigger jstacks on arbitrary tasks *without* killing them. The
> latter feature would be a very useful debugging tool for users who do not
> have shell access to the nodes.
