Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu commented on HADOOP-2092:
--------------------------------------------------

The attached patch adds background thread which pings the parent java 
map/reduce task every 30 seconds to check if it is alive.  If parent is not 
alive, it kills the c++ process after three retries.
Christian, Can you use this patch and let us know if you see improvement?

> Pipes C++ task does not die even if the Java tasks die
