Bikas Saha updated MAPREDUCE-4260:
----------------------------------
Description: Currently, the Windows version spawns the task as a normal cmd
shell from which other downstream exe's are spawned. However, this is not
bullet proof because if an intermediate process exits before its child exits,
then the parent child process tree relationship cannot be constructed. Windows
has a concept of JobObject that is similar to the setsid behavior used in
Linux. The initial spawned task could be launched within its JobObject.
Thereafter, process termination, memory management etc could be operated on the
JobObject.
