  • Intelligent resource management for antagonistic workloads
    Patent number: 12547618
    Abstract: Antagonistic queries can have a high resource and time footprint triggering a range of issues, such as causing compilation performance degradation of other queries and machine failures. Described herein are techniques for automatically identifying antagonistic queries and redirecting the antagonistic queries to dedicated resources. This redirecting can help better balance the workload on different work clusters and to isolate antagonistic workloads from impacting the compilation and execution performance of other queries.
