                 Key: HIVE-16552
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16552
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark
            Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
            Assignee: Xuefu Zhang


It's commonly desirable to block bad and big queries that takes a lot of YARN 
resources. One approach, similar to mapreduce.job.max.map in MapReduce, is to 
stop a query that invokes a Spark job that contains too many tasks. The 
proposal here is to introduce hive.spark.job.max.tasks with a default value of 
-1 (no limit), which an admin can set to block queries that trigger too many 
spark tasks.

Please note that this control knob applies to a spark job, though it's possible 
that one query can trigger multiple Spark jobs (such as in case of map-join). 
Nevertheless, the proposed approach is still helpful.
