Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-2344:
------------------------------------
Two things,
- whatever happens, {{ShellCommand.run()}} makes sure that an attempt is made
to close the streams and destroy the the process in the end of each run.
- one can always redirect the error to {{/dev/null}} as the patch does in case
of {{DF}} so that explicit command-error handling is not required. This is done
to avoid the buffer related issues with respect to error streams.

> Free up the buffers (input and error) while executing a shell command before
> waiting for it to finish.
