Hi there, Is it possible with the java client to abort an already started query? This would look like this: 1. Prepare query 2. Execute 3. Wait a while (maybe 1-2 seconds) 4. Notice that the query result isn't needed 5. Call abort 6. Immediately free any resources allocated to that specific query Best regards, Robin Verlangen _Data Architect_ \* \* W [http://www.robinverlangen.nl](http://www.robinverlangen.nl) E robin@us2.nl [http://goo.gl/Lt7BC](http://goo.gl/Lt7BC) _What is CloudPelican?

Does anyone out here have a clue whether this is possible?

Hi Robin, There is no real abort mechanism in the way you are describing it. The Java client has an async api (with ActionFuture) that allows to ignore the search execution from the client side. Maybe that is useful for you, but it doesn't clean up any server side resources.
