Description Philippe Mouawad 2020-06-05 16:08:34 UTC
The setting "jmeterengine.stopfail.system.exit=true"  is intended to make JMeter exit when some threads are still not stopped or hanged.

But currently this is what happens when test is stopped (now == true):
The StopTest thread if asked to stop now:
https://github.com/apache/jmeter/blob/master/src/core/src/main/java/org/apache/jmeter/engine/StandardJMeterEngine.java#L322

1) Asks threads of threads groups to stop
2) Pauses for 10ms * Number of threads (may be improvable by capping it to a max of 30s), not the main problem
3) verifyThreadsStopped : 
a) The problem is here, the method continues to loop even if one threadGroup.verifyThreadsStopped() returns false => Not optimal, I would suggest to exit on first false
b) ThreadGroup#verifyThreadsStopped has the same problem but worst it waits 5s per thread to join

So by default , if we have 100 threads still hanged , we end up waiting 
- Number of thread hanged * 10ms + Number of thread hanged * 5000 ms 


While if we exit on first false, we would wait :
- Number of thread hanged * 10ms + 5000 ms
