     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-327?page=all ]

Hairong Kuang updated HADOOP-327:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: exit.patch

The patch removes System.exit from ToolBase and adjusts the interface of method "run" to throw IOException.

> The new ToolBase class calls System.exit when the main routine finishes. That will break if the application uses threads that need to finish before the jvm exits. The normal semantics is that the program doesn't finish execution until all of the non-daemon threads exit (including the main one) and System.exit should never be called except for critical errors.
