larroy opened a new pull request #12276: [Don't merge][Review] A solution to prevent zombie containers locally and in CI
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/12276
 
 
   ## Description ##
   This PR adds mechanisms on the build scripts to cleanup docker containers when there is a cancellation, either from the user by sending SIGINT / SIGTERM or when the process inside the container ends with an error.
   
   It also propagates the environment variables from Jenkins which are used by the process tree killer to identify runaway processes so processes inside the container are killed when the Jenkins job is stopped.
   
   With this patch we catch SIGINT and SIGTERM and install a handler on atexit which cleans (stops) docker containers which were created during execution of the build.
   
   We also switch to python docker API for better management of running containers.

   - [x] Code is well-documented: 
   - For user-facing API changes, API doc string has been updated. 
   - For new C++ functions in header files, their functionalities and arguments are documented. 
   - For new examples, README.md is added to explain the what the example does, the source of the dataset, expected performance on test set and reference to the original paper if applicable
