Since we implemented async execution earlier in this PR https://github.com/Embucket/embucket/pull/1637, and closed issue https://github.com/Embucket/embucket/issues/1609 we need to support it in UI as well.

Proposal

  • Change createQuery handler POST /ui/queries
    Add payload param: asyncExec to the , reflect changes in openapi spec.
    Keep existing functionality of sync execution when asyncExec=false,
    Run query asynchronously when asyncExec=true
  • Add for future use DELETE /ui/queries handler, aborts running query by query_id
    or it can be PATCH /ui/queries, expecting additional payload arg: abort=true/false

    2 proposals:

    1. Maybe let's use syncExec (default = false) in POST /ui/queries.
      • syncExec=true → run query synchronously.
      • syncExec=false → run asynchronously (default).

    2. POST /ui/queries/{query_id}/abort to explicitly abort a running or queued query.
      A bit clearer than using DELETE or PATCH.
