Description

Executing webhcat script webhcat_server.sh with the foreground option, it calls calls hadoop without using exec. When you kill the webhcat_server.sh process, it does not kill the real webhcat server.

Just need to add the word exec below in webhcat_server.sh:

function foreground_webhcat() {
        exec $start_cmd
}
