FAQ
So I ^C a job from the command line and get my prompt back, but sometimes the job remains on the cluster, I can see it on the admin web UI, and sometimes it lingers there for hours before finally getting flushed.

Is there a way to kill a hadoop job once the command line prompt has returned, once the local process has basically ended?

    Get the job id with:
    hadoop job -list

    Kill it with:
    hadoop job -kill <id>

    Thanks. Works like a charm.

    Update: on another mailing list it was shown how to use the hadoop binary with the 'jobs -kill' command to kill a job.
