Stop a Long-Running Query in MarkLogic Server

If you're like me, every once in awhile you'll be working on a query in cq, you'll do something stupid in XQuery, run the query, and it will run forever. MarkLogic Server has built-in timeouts, but you can stop a long-running query rather than waiting. Here's how you can do it using the default admin console in 3.2.

1. In the left-hand column, click on Groups.
2. Click on Default
3. Click on App Servers
4. Click on the app server cq is connected to.
5. Click the Status tab.
6. Click the Show More button.
7. Scroll to the bottom and you should see a request with the the /cq/ path referenced.
8. Click the cancel link.
9. Confirm that you want to cancel the query.
