There is a Xapian method WritableDatabase::cancel_transaction(), but it is not currently exposed by notmuch. I think it could be added, but getting the testing working right is not something I want to tackle at this point in the release cycle. I guess this should be upwardly compatible, as all code correct for your current implementation should still work if we replace notmuch_database_close with notmuch_cancel_atomic.
