Xuefu Zhang created HIVE-16552: ---------------------------------- Summary: Limit the number of tasks a Spark job may contain 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
