ExecutorRunners now start in state LOADING and don't become RUNNING until their process is running and stderr && stdout are successfully opened -- see the changes in this PR to ExecutorRunner.scala. If ExecutorRunners were to continue to be created in state RUNNING, then new check for RUNNING Executors in Master.scala will always prevent Applications from being killed even though useful Executors doing actual work may not exist.
