Stop rollup job API

Warning

This functionality is experimental and may be changed or removed completely in a future release. Elastic will take a best effort approach to fix any issues, but experimental features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

This API stops an existing, started rollup job. If the job does not exist an exception will be thrown. Stopping an already stopped job has no action.

Request

POST _rollup/job/<job_id>/_stop

Path Parameters

job_id (required)
(string) Identifier for the job

Query Parameters

wait_for_completion (optional)
(boolean) if set to true, causes the API to block until the indexer state completely stops. If set to false, the API returns immediately and the indexer will be stopped asynchronously in the background. Defaults to false.
timeout (optional)
(TimeValue) if wait_for_completion=true, the API will block for (at maximum) the specified duration while waiting for the job to stop. If more than timeout time has passed, the API will throw a timeout exception. Note: even if a timeout exception is thrown, the stop request is still processing and will eventually move the job to STOPPED. The timeout simply means the API call itself timed out while waiting for the status change. Defaults to 30s

Request Body

There is no request body for the Stop Job API.

Authorization

You must have manage or manage_rollup cluster privileges to use this API. For more information, see Security Privileges.

Examples

If we have an already-started rollup job named sensor, it can be stopped with:

POST _rollup/job/sensor/_stop

Which will return the response:

{
  "stopped": true
}

If however we try to stop a job which doesn’t exist:

POST _rollup/job/does_not_exist/_stop

A 404 resource_not_found exception will be thrown:

{
    "error" : {
        "root_cause" : [
            {
                "type" : "resource_not_found_exception",
                "reason" : "Task for Rollup Job [does_not_exist] not found",
                "stack_trace": ...
            }
        ],
        "type" : "resource_not_found_exception",
        "reason" : "Task for Rollup Job [does_not_exist] not found",
        "stack_trace": ...
    },
    "status": 404
}

Waiting for the job to stop

Since only a stopped job can be deleted, it can be useful to block the StopJob API until the indexer has fully stopped. This is accomplished with the wait_for_completion query parameter, and optionally a timeout:

POST _rollup/job/sensor/_stop?wait_for_completion=true&timeout=10s

The parameter will block the API call from returning until either the job has moved to STOPPED, or the specified time has elapsed. If the specified time elapses without the job moving to STOPPED, a timeout exception will be thrown.

If wait_for_completion=true is specified without a timeout, a default timeout of 30 seconds is used.
