shutdown_error is used by supervisor (and application_master) to inform at something went a bit wrong during shutdown or a child. When shutting down a child, supervisor will normally do exit(ChildPid,shutdown) and then monitor the child to check the actual exit reason. If it terminates with Reason /= shutdown, supervisor will report a shutdown_error.<div>
<br></div><div>Also, if a child does not respond to supervisor's attempt of graceful shutdown within the shutdown time specified in the child spec, then the supervisor will kill it brutally and report a shutdown_error. This might be what happened in your case, since the reason reported is 'killed'.<div>
