Advanced Settings

Processing Priority: When resources are constrained, this value will be used to determine which components to schedule first. Higher priority numbers are scheduled before lower ones. Increasing the priority on a component also causes all its upstream components to be prioritized higher. Negative priorities can be used to postpone work until excess capacity becomes available. Please note that once a job is running, it completes processing and isn't impacted by a higher priority item coming into the queue.

Custom Spark Params: You can determine the resources such as driver size, number of executors, and the executor size. If you leave this set to Dynamic (default), Ascend will inspect the input files and automatically estimate the appropriate cluster size.
