Query Management

Number of user connections

Property is set for user granularity. To set the maximum number of connections between Client and FE, use the following command.

SET PROPERTY [FOR 'user'] 'key' = 'value' [, 'key' = 'value']

User properties include the resources assigned to the user. The properties set here are for the user, not user_identity. That is, if two users jack'@'% and jack'@'192.% are created by the CREATE USER statement, then the SET PROPERTY statement can work on the user jack, not jack'@'% or jack'@'192.%.

Example 1:

For the user `jack`, change the maximum number of connections to 1000
SET PROPERTY FOR 'jack' 'max_user_connections' = '1000';

Check the connection limit for the root user
SHOW PROPERTY FOR 'root';

The session variables can be set by 'key' = 'value', which can limit the concurrency, memory and other query parameters in the current session. For example:

  • parallel_fragment_exec_instance_num

    The parallelism of the query with a default value of 1. It indicates the number of fragment instances on each BE. You can set this to half the number of CPU cores of the BE to improve query performance.

  • query_mem_limit

    Memory limit of a query on each BE node, can be adjusted when a query reports insufficient memory.

  • load_mem_limit

    Memory limit for import, can be adjusted when an import job reports insufficient memory.

Example 2:

set parallel_fragment_exec_instance_num  = 8; 
set query_mem_limit = 137438953472;

capacity quota of database storage

The capacity quota of database storage is unlimited by default. And you can change quota value by using alter database.

ALTER DATABASE db_name SET DATA QUOTA quota;

The quota units are: B/K/KB/M/MB/G/GB/T/TB/P/PB

Example 3:

ALTER DATABASE example_db SET DATA QUOTA 10T;

Kill queries

To terminate a query on a particular connection with the following command:

kill connection_id;

The connection_id can be seen by show processlist; or select connection_id();.

 show processlist;
