== Nodes Task API
The nodes task management API retrieves information about the tasks currently
executing on one or more nodes in the cluster.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_tasks <1>
GET /_tasks/nodeId1,nodeId2 <2>
GET /_tasks/nodeId1,nodeId2/cluster:* <3>
--------------------------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
<1> Retrieves all tasks currently running on all nodes in the cluster.
<2> Retrieves all tasks running on nodes `nodeId1` and `nodeId2`. See <<cluster-nodes>> for more info about how to select individual nodes.
<3> Retrieves all cluster-related tasks running on nodes `nodeId1` and `nodeId2`.
The result will look similar to the following:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------

(e.g. create index, update mapping, allocate or fail shard) which have not yet
been executed.
NOTE: This API returns a list of any pending updates to the cluster state. These are distinct from the tasks reported by the
<<tasks,Task Management API>> which include periodic tasks and tasks initiated by the user, such as node stats, search queries, or create
index requests. However, if a user-initiated task such as a create index command causes a cluster state update, the activity of this task
might be reported by both task api and pending cluster tasks API.

== Task Management API
experimental[The Task Management API is new and should still be considered experimental. The API may change in ways that are not backwards compatible]
[float]
=== Current Tasks Information
The task management API allows to retrieve information about the tasks currently
executing on one or more nodes in the cluster.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_tasks <1>
GET /_tasks?nodes=nodeId1,nodeId2 <2>
GET /_tasks?nodes=nodeId1,nodeId2&actions=cluster:* <3>
--------------------------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
<1> Retrieves all tasks currently running on all nodes in the cluster.
<2> Retrieves all tasks running on nodes `nodeId1` and `nodeId2`. See <<cluster-nodes>> for more info about how to select individual nodes.
<3> Retrieves all cluster-related tasks running on nodes `nodeId1` and `nodeId2`.
The result will look similar to the following:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"nodes" : {
"oTUltX4IQMOUUVeiohTt8A" : {
"name" : "Tamara Rahn",
"transport_address" : "127.0.0.1:9300",
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"ip" : "127.0.0.1:9300",
"tasks" : {

"id" : 124,
"type" : "direct",
"action" : "cluster:monitor/tasks/lists[n]",
"start_time_in_millis" : 1458585884904,
"running_time_in_nanos" : 47402,

"start_time_in_millis" : 1458585884904,
"running_time_in_nanos" : 236042
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
It is also possible to retrieve information for a particular task, or all children of a particular
tasks using the following two commands:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_tasks/taskId1
GET /_tasks?parent_task_id=parentTaskId1
--------------------------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
The task API can be also used to wait for completion of a particular task. The following call will
block for 10 seconds or until the task with id `oTUltX4IQMOUUVeiohTt8A:12345` is completed.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_tasks/oTUltX4IQMOUUVeiohTt8A:12345?wait_for_completion=true&timeout=10s
--------------------------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
[float]
=== Task Cancellation
If a long-running task supports cancellation, it can be cancelled by the following command:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /_tasks/taskId1/_cancel
--------------------------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
The task cancellation command supports the same task selection parameters as the list tasks command, so multiple tasks
can be cancelled at the same time. For example, the following command will cancel all reindex tasks running on the
nodes `nodeId1` and `nodeId2`.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /_tasks/_cancel?node_id=nodeId1,nodeId2&actions=*reindex
--------------------------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
