Roman Shaposhnik commented on HBASE-4209: ----------------------------------------- stack, before I submit the patch, I would really appreciate if you could let me know the relationship between bin/stop-hbase.sh and bin/hbase-daemon.sh. I was under the impression that whatever stop-hbase.sh triggers in the master code would also be triggered by JVM shutdown hook upon receiving SIGTERM, but it doesn't seem to be that way. Do we have to call bin/stop-hbase.sh manually from within the hbase-daemon.sh before stopping daemons? > The HBase hbase-daemon.sh SIGKILLs master when stopping it > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4209 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: master > Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik > > There's a bit of code in hbase-daemon.sh that makes HBase master being > SIGKILLed when stopping it rather than trying SIGTERM (like it does for other > daemons).
