Guys, I do not think there is an understanding here. If Ignite hangs - it will likely be impossible to stop. So if you are suggesting "stop if embedded", you might as well suggest "do nothing if embedded".
I have seen many Ignite deployments, embedded or not, large and small, and in all those deployments if Ignite went into a frozen state, killing it was the best option. Moreover, it provided the most predictable behavior. I am not guessing here, but it seems to me that the rest of the community is guessing. Killing a frozen Ignite node should be a default behavior in all cases, embedded or not. Stopping a frozen Ignite node should be a configurable option, so a user has an ability to turn off auto-kill behavior. We should also have a 3rd option, "stop+kill", so if stopping fails, then the process is automatically killed (this is also a good default option). Personally, I am OK if the default behavior is "kill" or "stop+kill", but it should be the same default in all cases. We should stop the practice of creating different default behaviors for the same problem. It is confusing and hard to document. D.
