The CANCEL JOB statement lets you stop long-running jobs, which include IMPORT jobs, enterprise BACKUP and RESTORE jobs, and as of v2.1, schema changes and changefeeds.
Limitations
When an enterprise RESTORE is canceled, partially restored data is properly cleaned up. This can have a minor, temporary impact on cluster performance.
Required privileges
Only members of the admin role can cancel a job. By default, the root user belongs to the admin role.

Cancel multiple jobs
New in v2.1: To cancel multiple jobs, nest a SELECT clause that retrieves job_id(s) inside the CANCEL JOBS statement:
> CANCEL JOBS (SELECT job_id FROM [SHOW JOBS]
WHERE user_name = 'maxroach');
All jobs created by maxroach will be cancelled.
