             Summary: [list | abort] Compactions
                 Key: HBASE-12446
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12446
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Manukranth Kolloju
             Fix For: 1.0.0


In some cases, we would need to quickly reduce load on a server without killing 
it. Compactions is one of the critical processes which takes up a lot of CPU 
and disk IOPS. We should have a way to list compactions given the regionserver 
and abort compactions given regionserver and compaction id. And additionally 
abort all compactions. 

Pardon me if there was already a similar Jira, I'd be happy to merge this there.

The current code handles interrupts. We should be able to interrupt the thread 
that is performing the compaction and abort it from either the UI or from the 
command line. This Jira is targeted to expose an admin function to perform such 
a task.
