stack commented on HBASE-14420:
-------------------------------
FYI [~dimaspivak] ... You are trying to follow along... see above where my
reporting is failing... The issue is that we run the zombie detection even when
the build is killed and we 'find' zombies though its just stuff that was
running at kill-time. Just FYI. I'll try and fix zombie detector...

> Patch build are now failing most of the time because we are dropping zombies.
> I confirm we are doing this on non-apache build boxes too.
> Left-over zombies consume resources on build boxes (OOME cannot create native
> threads). Having to do multiple test runs in the hope that we can get a
> non-zombie-making build or making (arbitrary) rulings that the zombies are
> 'not related' is a productivity sink. And so on...
> This is an umbrella issue for a zombie stomping session that started earlier
> this week. Will hang sub-issues of this one. Am running builds back-to-back
> on little cluster to turn out the monsters.
