Description

Hitting Ctrl-C in spark-sql (and other tools like presto) cancels any running job and starts a new input line on the prompt. It would be nice if spark-shell also can do that. Otherwise, in case a user submits a job, say he made a mistake, and wants to cancel it, he needs to exit the shell and re-login to continue his work. Re-login can be a pain especially in Spark on yarn, since it takes a while to allocate AM container and initial executors.
