Github user uce commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1227#issuecomment-145808965 Exactly. If the blob server dies, then the job manager will still shutdown the cache service though. This is the same behaviour as in the job manager recovery. Thinking about it, I am wondering myself what we gain by removing the shutdown hook. In case of hard failures (or kill -9) the shutdown hook is not called anyways and for all other cases the job manager will shutdown the components manually anyways. Am I missing something?
