I think it is not a good idea to kill sub process. Because when we catch a
exception, we do not know whether sub process is still running. "kill pid" may
cause other error.
By the way, when parent process is exist, the sub process will exit when
read from stdin encounter a EOF, so sub process will not zoombie.
> multilang ShellBolt/ShellSpout die() can be hang when Exception happened

> Key: STORM-442
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-442
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3
> Reporter: DashengJu
>
> In ShellBolt, the _readerThread read command from python/shell process, and
> handle like this:
> try {
> ShellMsg shellMsg = _process.readShellMsg();
> ...
> } catch (InterruptedException e) {
> } catch (Throwable t) {
> die(t);
> }
> And in the die function, getProcessTerminationInfoString will read
> getErrorsString() from processErrorStream.
> private void die(Throwable exception) {
>
> String processInfo = _process.getProcessInfoString() +
> _process.getProcessTerminationInfoString();
>
> _exception = new RuntimeException(processInfo, exception);
>
> }
> so when ShellBolt got exception(for example, readShellMsg() throw NPE ) ,
> but it is not an error from sub process, then
> getProcessTerminationInfoString will be hang because processErrorStream have
> no data to read.
> On the other hand, as [~xiaokang] says ShellBolt should fail fast on
> exception ( https://github.com/apache/incubator-storm/pull/46 ) , I think it
> is not a good idea to read error info from stream.
> Because [~xiaokang] 's PR is based old version, so I will move his code to
> this PR, and modify some other place in ShellSpout.
