If you try to stop a job that does not exist, an exception occurs.
If you try to stop a job that is already stopped, nothing happens.
Since only a stopped job can be deleted, it can be useful to block the API until the indexer has fully stopped.
This is accomplished with the wait_for_completion query parameter, and optionally a timeout. For example:
Text
POST _rollup/job/sensor/_stop?wait_for_completion=true&timeout=10s
The parameter blocks 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 occurs.
If wait_for_completion is true, the API blocks for (at maximum) the specified duration while waiting for the job to stop.
If more than timeout time has passed, the API throws a timeout exception.
NOTE: Even if a timeout occurs, the stop request is still processing and eventually moves the job to STOPPED.
The timeout simply means the API call itself timed out while waiting for the status change.
wait_for_completionboolean · default: false
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 is stopped asynchronously in the background.
