[ES|QL] Allow the user to change the query when the query is loading about kibana HOT 7 OPEN

No, I was talking about aborting the previous query once the user starts typing again after they submitted.

But as you say, aborting the previous query when the user submits the new query is the better behavior, so I think we are aligned here.

I just did a little test and it does look like we're canceling the previous query when re-submitting a new one, although it does seem to be a bit delayed (takes a couple seconds before we do it).

Just to make sure, as you didn't spell it out - When would the cancellation of the previous query happen? I would say it should happen once the user submits the new query. When thinking about it, what came to mind for me is when the user starts typing, but actually I think that's too early.

By keeping the old query running until the new one is submitted, I can do the following:

• I know I want to do two queries, both will take 10s or so
• I type the first one and submit it, it starts loading
• While it loads, I type out the second one
• Once the first query finishes, I quickly look at the result, then submit the second query I typed in the meantime

I often find myself working like this with query boxes that might take a while - it might seem like a small thing, but for such a central component, speed of interaction is extremely important, as you will have tons of power users.

This is what I meant. Do you suggest something different? I got confused from your message 🤔

The queries run only when the user hits the submit button (or CMD/CTRL + Enter), it is not submitted when the user starts typing. I don't want this if this is what you imply 😱

Great, thanx for clarifying, is a bit late and I am not at my 100%
