Hi Is your hive queries in waiting mode even though there are task slots available on your cluster?
If task slots are getting exhausted and you need parallelism here, then you may need to look at some approaches of using fair scheduler and different user accounts for each user so that each user gets his fair share of task slots.

The way users run queries is - They ssh into the name node machine - They initiate hive and submit their queries Currently multiple users log in with the same credentials and submit queries Whenever 2 or more users try to run queries at a same time from different hive console , it runs only one query at a time and when that query is finished then only next query starts executing and so on. In this scenario if there is a large query which is submitted earlier then all the other queries have to wait for that query to complete. I want to run multiple query at the same time. Is there any way or any configuration parameter to do the same ? PS: The data is in S3 and running HIVE on AWS EMR infrastructure in interactive mode. Thank You, Chunky.
