Labels: newbie (was: )
> When killing a task, we don't always need to send a subsequent SIGKILL
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: YARN-2342

> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli
> Labels: newbie
>
> In both TaskController/LinuxTaskController, while killing tasks, first a
> SIGTERM and then a subsequent SIGKILL. We don't need to send the SIGKILL
> always. It can be avoided when the SIGTERM command (kill pid for process or
> kill -- -pid for session) returns a non-zero exit code, i.e. when the signal
> is not sent successfully because process/process group doesn't exist. 'man 2
> kill' says exit code is non-zero only when process/process group is not alive
> or invalid signal is specified or the process doesn't have permissions. The
> last two don't happen in mapred code.
