PREDICTIVE RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR DISTRIBUTED QUERY EXECUTION

Abstract:

The subject technology receives a query directed to a set of source tables, each source table organized into a set of micro-partitions. The subject technology determines a set of metadata, the set of metadata comprising table metadata, query metadata, and historical data related to the query. The subject technology predicts, using a machine learning model, an indicator of an amount of computing resources for executing the query based at least in part on the set of metadata. The subject technology generates a query plan for executing the query based at least in part on the predicted indicator of the amount of computing resources. The subject technology executes the query based at least in part on the query plan.
