Query Timeout

Query Timeout protects cluster resources by stopping queries after they are submitted if they run longer than the configured time limit.

How It Works​

  • When a query or job is submitted, Yeedu starts tracking its execution time.
  • If the query exceeds the configured timeout, it is automatically terminated.
  • Timeout rules are applied during job execution, not before submission.

Why It Matters​

  • Prevents runaway queries
  • Ensures fair resource usage across submitted jobs
  • Keeps the cluster responsive in multi-user environments

Typical Configuration​

  • Default timeout (configurable via Spark Config)
  • Optional override at session or job level

This ensures that long-running submitted queries do not block cluster resources.
