Hive Cluster Resources

Overview

  • You can see the particular resources available on a Hive partition at any given time with pace-check-queue <insert partition name>
  • You can see even more detailed information about each node in a partition with pace-check-queue <insert queue name> -s

Resource Overview of Partitions

Most of the 484 Hive nodes have 24 cores.
