[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-14772) Improve zombie detector; be more discerning

Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-14772:
-------------------------------------

yeah, a UUID or some such specific to the current build would be perfect. on Jenkins at least, there's ${BUILD_ID} that we can use.

> Currently, any surefire process with the hbase flag is a potential zombie. Our zombie check currently takes a reading and if it finds candidate zombies, it waits 30 seconds and then does another reading. If a concurrent build going on, in both cases the zombie detector will come up positive though the adjacent test run may be making progress; i.e. the cast of surefire processes may have changed between readings but our detector just sees presence of  hbase surefire processes.
> Here is example:
> {code}
> Suspicious java process found - waiting 30s to see if there are just slow to stop
> There appear to be 5 zombie tests, they should have been killed by surefire but survived

> 5 is the number of forked processes we allow when doing medium and large tests.... so an adjacent build will always show as '5 zombies'.
> Need to add discerning if list of processes changes between readings.
> Can I also add a tag per build run that all forked processes pick up so I can look at the current builds progeny only?
