Hi folks,

We have been using Airflow to run ETL jobs but sometimes require to =
cancel a DAG run. Since I could not find a way to cancel a DAG run (from =
CLI or UI), we are using a crude work-around that is to cancel the tasks =
that are running and thus failing the DAG run.

What I expect (and I might be wrong here) is that there should be a way =
to cancel a DAG run which would send a SIGTERM signal to the running =
tasks and after they are terminated, the DAG run should go into a =
=E2=80=9Ccanceled=E2=80=9D or =E2=80=9Cfinished=E2=80=9D state.

Is this something that others find useful as well or am I missing =
something?

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when =
there is nothing left to take away.
