ICommunicationListener.CloseAsync not called on replica removed when force-remove=false about service-fabric-cli

[abhishekram]

Why are you trying to do this? Is this for testing or some other reason?

Also wanted to add that the behavior you saw is expected.
For graceful restart of your service process, there is no direct command that does it.

One option is to trigger an application upgrade with the --force-restart option, which will result in graceful restart of your processes one upgrade domain at a time. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-sfctl-application#sfctl-application-upgrade

Please note that you don't necessarily need to update the application version in order to perform an upgrade. You can also do this by updating some application parameter. You could also designate a "dummy" application parameter just for this purpose.
