Option to kill task by myself
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Sometimes I make a query producing thousands of rows in result and that query will probably never end and I have to wait about 30 minutes until it will be killed. It also blocks other queued tasks. It would be an awesome feature if we could kill a task by ourselves

If you fix it and re-execute again the previous task will automatically get killed!

But sometimes you just don't want to run it again. E.g. if you find out the result is too large so you just want to kill it (in order to make place for other queries) and end working on this one.

Also killing it by replacing it with some fast query is not a good solution if you want to use some part of the query later (or run its modified version)
