Gracefully kill oozie coordinator

[#1]

Hello,

if i kill a oozie coordinator with the command below, the workflows of the coordinator which are running at this moment also gets killed.

oozie job -oozie http://<ooziehost>:<port>/oozie -kill xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-oozie-oozi-C

Is there a way to kill a coordinator and let the coordinator workflows which are in RUNNING mode at this time run to end?

Background is that the workflows are ELT processes, including recieving messages of IBM MQ, do sqoop jobs and transform the data. The error handling if a workflow suddenly get killed is quite difficult.

Thanks,

Michael

it is not possible, if coordinator is killed, workflows will be killed.
