   @YutingZhang I think it's okay to terminate worker processes right after shutdown, but I don't understand why you mentioned "The shutdown mechanism could not guarantee that all worker processes can be terminated". 
   
   In some cases, if worker has a propagated key queue(i.e., workers are busy), it's likely workers need longer time to exit, but the terminate signal (None, None) would make sure these daemon processes will quit when they finish their jobs, or get killed by the main process. 
   
   So I am curious do you know what caused the dangling processes?
