Description
Currently we have no control over in-progress couchdb tasks such as bucket/view compaction and main/replica indexing. If for whatever reason enduser wants to stop these tasks, I suppose ns_server could kill the process_id from couchdb's active_tasks.
An example of when this could be useful is when someone disables fragmentation in the UI, but currently they have to wait for in-progress compaction to complete, whereas this feature would allow an admin to also kill current compaction as well to ensure none of these tasks are running.
