Description
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.
