Graceful shutdown

You can configure the graceful shutdown as described in Graceful shutdown.

JournalNodes

As a default, JournalNodes have 15 minutes to shut down gracefully.

The JournalNode process will receive a SIGTERM signal when Kubernetes wants to terminate the Pod. It will log the received signal as shown in the log below and initiate a graceful shutdown. After the graceful shutdown timeout runs out, and the process still didn’t exit, Kubernetes will issue a SIGKILL signal.

This is the relevant code that gets executed in the JournalNodes as of HDFS version 3.3.4.
