[MarkLogic Dev General] xdmp:document-delete() queries hanging

[Pete Aven]

Hi Alan,

     Unfortunately, I think you'll have to restart the server.  If the
'cancel' button is not working from Admin, then in all likelihood you
have an undetectable deadlock.  See the Understanding Transactions
section of the developer guide for more info on how to prevent this in
the future.

Pete, 

Thanks for the tips, particularly checking the Task Server/App Server
status
in the admin.  I saw a bunch of old requests in the App Server that
varied
in length from 2 hours to 24 hours, which are almost certainly my
attempts
to access this file.

I also think I have the root problem figured out. I'd been working on a
query that would both update some documents on the server, and then
copy/archive them elsewhere.  When I combined the update/copy actions
into a
single script, that's when I started seeing this behavior. I'll be
taking
the Grouch Marx approach and "Not Doing That" anymore.

The only other question I'd have here (for anyone) would be, is there a
way
to kill those old requests that are hanging around the server (short of
a
reboot)?  I've tried clicking the [cancel] link/button for all of them,
but
they're pretty insistent on sticking around.

Pete, thanks again for your help!
