Abort/failed the job gracefully during Spring Batch shutdown [BATCH-2064]

[spring-projects-issues]

Simon Wong opened BATCH-2064 and commented

During application context closing, only JobRegistry will respect to the destroy phase in Spring life cycle and cleanup the job information in registry.

The job itself might still be in "STARTED" status after the application context closed. It will be better to add a strategy interface to fail/stop the jobs before the application context closed (By default, maybe all the running jobs should be STOPPED).

Currently, I have to do this manually in @PreDestroy phase.

The issue here is that what to set the job to is really dependent on a number of things (state of the job, why it's being shut down, etc). In the end, it's really a very job/use case specific problem that I'm not sure how we would solve within the framework in a generic way. However, pull requests are always welcome.

Spring Batch now provides a shutdown hook for this, see #5028. Moreover, the interruption process was reviewed/ fixed e5fbc2a
