=== Close Job API

The Close Job API provides the ability to close {ml} jobs in the cluster.
It accepts a `CloseJobRequest` object and responds
with a `CloseJobResponse` object.

[[java-rest-high-x-pack-ml-close-job-request]]
==== Close Job Request

A `CloseJobRequest` object gets created with an existing non-null `jobId`.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/MlClientDocumentationIT.java[x-pack-ml-close-job-request]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Constructing a new request referencing existing job IDs
<2> Optionally used to close a failed job, or to forcefully close a job
which has not responded to its initial close request.
<3> Optionally set to ignore if a wildcard expression matches no jobs.
 (This includes `_all` string or when no jobs have been specified)
<4> Optionally setting the `timeout` value for how long the
execution should wait for the job to be closed.

==== Execution

The request can be executed through the `MachineLearningClient` contained
in the `RestHighLevelClient` object, accessed via the `machineLearningClient()` method.

--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/MlClientDocumentationIT.java[x-pack-ml-close-job-execute]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> `isClosed()` from the `CloseJobResponse` indicates if the job was successfully
closed or not.

[[java-rest-high-x-pack-ml-close-job-execution-async]]
==== Asynchronous Execution

The request can also be executed asynchronously:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/MlClientDocumentationIT.java[x-pack-ml-close-job-execute-async]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The `CloseJobRequest` to execute and the `ActionListener` to use when
the execution completes

The method does not block and returns immediately. The passed `ActionListener` is used
to notify the caller of completion. A typical `ActionListener` for `CloseJobResponse` may
look like

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/MlClientDocumentationIT.java[x-pack-ml-close-job-listener]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> `onResponse` is called back when the action is completed successfully
<2> `onFailure` is called back when some unexpected error occurs
