    Actually, what's the difference between letting `main` complete normally 
(in which case `java` already exits with status 0 right?) and exiting 
explicitly at the end of main with status 0? You still get shutdown hooks but 
`System.exit` kills the non-daemon threads? 
    
    I see you're saying it isn't really a behavior change. In the scenario 
here, the JVM would still be running because some non-daemon thread is alive, 
so how does YARN decide to forcibly kill it -- it's because the app has already 
told YARN it's done but hasn't completed?
    
    There still seems to be a material difference between always immediately 
killing threads at the end, and maybe getting killed some short time later, 
since the former will always occur in normal operation. Could we emulate the 
delay as well as better-than-nothing?
