On <code>compare_runs</code>, <code>runIdA</code>/ <code>runIdB</code> are caller-supplied identifiers, not Spark application ids, so there&#39;s no single app-id field to redact; <code>redact</code> instead scans stage names and other free text for embedded app ids and host/IP tokens and pseudonymizes those. <code>list_runs</code> pseudonymizes every run&#39;s app id and name consistently, so two attempts of the same app still redact to the same identity across the list.</p><h2 id="connecting-a-client" tabindex="-1">Connecting a client <a class="header-anchor" href="#connecting-a-client" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Connecting a client&quot;"></a></h2><p>Run the server with <code>npx</code>:</p><div class="language- vp-adaptive-theme"><button title="Copy Code" class="copy"></button><span class="lang"></span><pre class="shiki shiki-themes github-light github-dark vp-code" tabindex="0"><code><span class="line"><span>npx sparkforensics-mcp</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Or point an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code) at it with this config:</p><div class="language-json vp-adaptive-theme"><button title="Copy Code" class="copy"></button><span class="lang">json</span><pre class="shiki shiki-themes github-light github-dark vp-code" tabindex="0"><code><span class="line"><span style="--shiki-light:#24292E;--shiki-dark:#E1E4E8;">{</span></span>

id="understanding-findings" tabindex="-1">Understanding findings <a class="header-anchor" href="#understanding-findings" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Understanding findings&quot;"></a></h1><p>Every flagged problem carries a short ALL-CAPS tag. This page has one entry per tag: what it means, and what to do about it.</p><p>A few tags share their in-app &quot;Reference panel&quot; background reading with another tag, because the underlying Spark-tuning material overlaps: <code>SFAIL</code> with <code>FAIL</code>, <code>PART</code> with <code>SHFL</code>, <code>SPEC</code> with <code>STRAG</code>, and <code>CACHE</code>/<code>LOCAL</code> with <code>UTIL</code>.</p><h2 id="per-stage" tabindex="-1">Per-stage <a class="header-anchor" href="#per-stage" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Per-stage&quot;"></a></h2><h3 id="skew" tabindex="-1"><code>SKEW</code>: Task skew <a class="header-anchor" href="#skew" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SKEW`: Task skew {#skew}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A small number of tasks take much longer than their peers in the same stage. For join-driven skew, enable AQE skew-join handling (<code>spark.sql.adaptive.skewJoin.enabled</code>); otherwise salt the key or repartition on a better key.</p><h3 id="shfl" tabindex="-1"><code>SHFL</code>: Shuffle I/O <a class="header-anchor" href="#shfl" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SHFL`: Shuffle I/O {#shfl}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks move a large amount of intermediate data between stages. Raise <code>spark.sql.shuffle.partitions</code>, or add a broadcast join.</p><h3 id="spill" tabindex="-1"><code>SPILL</code>: Memory and disk spill <a class="header-anchor" href="#spill" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SPILL`: Memory and disk spill {#spill}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks are writing data out of memory, which slows execution. Two spill patterns get flagged differently: skew spill, where a few heavy tasks spill while most don&#39;t (rebalance partitioning), and volume spill, where most tasks spill because the data genuinely exceeds available memory (add partitions).</p><h3 id="gc" tabindex="-1"><code>GC</code>: Garbage collection pressure <a class="header-anchor" href="#gc" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`GC`: Garbage collection pressure {#gc}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks spend an unusually large share of time reclaiming memory. Reduce object creation: use primitive types, avoid UDFs, or raise executor memory.</p><h3 id="fail" tabindex="-1"><code>FAIL</code>: Failed tasks <a class="header-anchor" href="#fail" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`FAIL`: Failed tasks {#fail}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks fail often enough to affect the stage. Failed tasks point to executor instability or data-driven errors: check driver logs for the dominant failure reason.</p><h3 id="sfail" tabindex="-1"><code>SFAIL</code>: Failed stage <a class="header-anchor" href="#sfail" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SFAIL`: Failed stage {#sfail}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A stage attempt failed outright rather than losing individual tasks within it. Inspect the driver log for the failure reason and the job that triggered it.</p><h3 id="strag" tabindex="-1"><code>STRAG</code>: Straggler tasks <a class="header-anchor" href="#strag" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`STRAG`: Straggler tasks {#strag}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A few tasks run much slower than the rest of their stage. Rule out a GC pause or a slow shuffle fetch before assuming a hardware issue; if a skewed key is the real cause, that&#39;s a candidate for AQE&#39;s skew-join handling.</p><h3 id="spec" tabindex="-1"><code>SPEC</code>: Speculation waste <a class="header-anchor" href="#spec" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SPEC`: Speculation waste {#spec}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Speculative task attempts used a lot of executor time without confirming a genuine straggler. Self-flagged low-confidence: a design spike, not yet validated against real-world runs. If task durations are just naturally variable rather than genuine stragglers, tune <code>spark.speculation.multiplier</code>/<code>spark.speculation.quantile</code>.</p><h3 id="retry" tabindex="-1"><code>RETRY</code>: Retry waste <a class="header-anchor" href="#retry" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`RETRY`: Retry waste {#retry}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Repeated task attempts ate into execution time even though the stage completed. Investigate executor loss or fetch failures.</p><h3 id="tiny" tabindex="-1"><code>TINY</code>: Tiny tasks <a class="header-anchor" href="#tiny" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`TINY`: Tiny tasks {#tiny}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Many very short tasks add scheduling overhead out of proportion to the work each one does. Repartition to fewer, larger tasks.</p><h3 id="part" tabindex="-1"><code>PART</code>: Partition sizing <a class="header-anchor" href="#part" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`PART`: Partition sizing {#part}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Shuffle partitions are too large, too uneven, or too few for the work. A single shuffle partition over 5 GB, for example, will OOM or spill heavily: repartition to break it up before the stage runs.</p><h3 id="slow" tabindex="-1"><code>SLOW</code>: Stage slowness <a class="header-anchor" href="#slow" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SLOW`: Stage slowness {#slow}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A stage ran long overall without a more specific cause getting flagged. Often a partition-count problem: raise parallelism via <code>spark.sql.shuffle.partitions</code> or <code>spark.default.parallelism</code>, or check for a large per-task data volume driving heavy shuffle and spill.</p><h3 id="shape" tabindex="-1"><code>SHAPE</code>: Stage shape <a class="header-anchor" href="#shape" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SHAPE`: Stage shape {#shape}&quot;"></a></h3><p>The stage has an inefficient task count, output shape, or task-to-stage balance: for example, one straggler task taking a large fraction of the stage&#39;s wall-clock time.</p><h3 id="host" tabindex="-1"><code>HOST</code>: Slow host <a class="header-anchor" href="#host" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`HOST`: Slow host {#host}&quot;"></a></h3><p>One executor is much slower than its peers. It may just hold data locality for its tasks or carry one heavy stage, rather than a hardware fault. Enable <code>spark.speculation</code> to relaunch a lagging task automatically.</p><h2 id="app-level" tabindex="-1">App-level <a class="header-anchor" href="#app-level" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;App-level&quot;"></a></h2><h3 id="cold" tabindex="-1"><code>COLD</code>: Executor cold start <a class="header-anchor" href="#cold" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`COLD`: Executor cold start {#cold}&quot;"></a></h3><p>New executors take time to become available for work. Pre-warm the cluster, or use dynamic allocation.</p><h3 id="util" tabindex="-1"><code>UTIL</code>: Low utilization <a class="header-anchor" href="#util" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`UTIL`: Low utilization {#util}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Allocated executors sit idle for a large share of the application run. Consider a smaller cluster, or enable dynamic allocation.</p><h3 id="mem" tabindex="-1"><code>MEM</code>: Memory utilization <a class="header-anchor" href="#mem" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`MEM`: Memory utilization {#mem}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Executor memory or core capacity may be over- or under-provisioned. Some detail here needs <code>spark.eventLog.logStageExecutorMetrics=true</code> on the run being analyzed; without it, per-executor memory usage can&#39;t be broken down. Review <code>spark.executor.memory</code> and executor count if allocated memory sat largely idle over the run. That idle-memory variant is self-flagged low-confidence: it estimates waste from allocated-versus-used memory-time against an unverified 1.5x buffer. Check it against the Spark UI before resizing anything.</p><h3 id="cache" tabindex="-1"><code>CACHE</code>: Caching opportunity <a class="header-anchor" href="#cache" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`CACHE`: Caching opportunity {#cache}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A reusable dataset (re-read via the same SQL relation more than once) may be worth persisting between stages. Self-flagged low-confidence: reuse is only inferred, from plan-scan identity across SQL executions, so confirm the reads really do hit the same data before you cache anything.</p><h3 id="cstor" tabindex="-1"><code>CSTOR</code>: Cache storage <a class="header-anchor" href="#cstor" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`CSTOR`: Cache storage {#cstor}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A persisted dataset is not fully cached in memory, or is spilling to disk. Raise executor memory, or shrink the cached dataset.</p><h3 id="local" tabindex="-1"><code>LOCAL</code>: Core usage locality <a class="header-anchor" href="#local" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`LOCAL`: Core usage locality {#local}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks run without process- or node-local data placement more often than expected. Check <code>spark.locality.wait</code> settings and executor/data colocation. Self-flagged low-confidence: the non-local-ratio thresholds are unvalidated design-spike values, and no external tool publishes an equivalent metric to calibrate them against.</p><h3 id="chrn" tabindex="-1"><code>CHRN</code>: Autoscaling churn <a class="header-anchor" href="#chrn" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`CHRN`: Autoscaling churn {#chrn}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Executors are stood up and torn down again before they can do useful work: re-provisioning churn rather than normal scale-down. Raise <code>spark.dynamicAllocation.executorIdleTimeout</code>, or widen the <code>minExecutors</code>/<code>maxExecutors</code> bounds to reduce flapping. Self-flagged low-confidence: a design spike, not yet validated against real-world runs.</p><h3 id="jobs" tabindex="-1"><code>JOBS</code>: Job failure rate <a class="header-anchor" href="#jobs" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`JOBS`: Job failure rate {#jobs}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A large share of completed jobs did not succeed. Inspect the driver log for the failed job(s) and the stage failures that triggered them.</p><h3 id="incmp" tabindex="-1"><code>INCMP</code>: Incomplete run <a class="header-anchor" href="#incmp" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`INCMP`: Incomplete run {#incmp}&quot;"></a></h3><p>This event log never recorded an <code>ApplicationEnd</code> event: capture stopped before the run finished (an in-flight job, a rotated-away log, or a cut-short capture). Every other finding and metric on the board reflects only what was captured up to that point, not the full run.</p><h2 id="configuration-scope" tabindex="-1">Configuration scope <a class="header-anchor" href="#configuration-scope" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Configuration scope&quot;"></a></h2><h3 id="cfg" tabindex="-1"><code>CFG</code>: Configuration audit <a class="header-anchor" href="#cfg" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`CFG`: Configuration audit {#cfg}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Flags configuration settings that may cause reliability or efficiency problems, independent of any one stage&#39;s behavior. Four properties are audited today:</p><ul><li><code>spark.shuffle.service.enabled</code>: flagged when dynamic allocation is on but the external shuffle service is off, since shuffle data won&#39;t survive executor removal.</li><li><code>spark.dynamicAllocation.maxExecutors</code>: flagged for inverted bounds or a missing upper bound.</li><li><code>spark.serializer</code>: flagged when still on the default Java serializer; <code>org.apache.spark.serializer.KryoSerializer</code> is faster and produces smaller buffers.</li><li><code>spark.executor.memoryOverhead</code>: flagged when set below a safe floor.</li></ul><h2 id="sql-scope" tabindex="-1">SQL scope <a class="header-anchor" href="#sql-scope" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;SQL scope&quot;"></a></h2><h3 id="plan" tabindex="-1"><code>PLAN</code>: Plan advisor <a class="header-anchor" href="#plan" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`PLAN`: Plan advisor {#plan}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Flags patterns in the SQL execution plan worth reviewing. Four checks share this tag:</p><ul><li>Duplicate plan subtree: the same subtree recomputed more than once in the plan.</li><li>Small files: reading an excessive number of small files.</li><li>Under-broadcast: the smaller side of a Sort Merge Join looks well under the broadcast threshold; consider a <code>broadcast()</code> hint or raising <code>spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold</code>.</li><li>Over-broadcast: a broadcast exceeds the 1 GB threshold; check for a misapplied broadcast hint or a misconfigured <code>spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold</code>.</li></ul></div></div></main><footer class="VPDocFooter" data-v-39a288b8 data-v-e257564d><!--[--><!--]--><!----><nav class="prev-next" aria-labelledby="doc-footer-aria-label" data-v-e257564d><span class="visually-hidden" id="doc-footer-aria-label" data-v-e257564d>Pager</span><div class="pager" data-v-e257564d><a class="VPLink link pager-link prev" href="../user-guide/getting-started.html" data-v-e257564d><!--[--><span class="desc" data-v-e257564d>Previous page</span><span class="title" data-v-e257564d>Getting started</span><!--]--></a></div><div class="pager" data-v-e257564d><a class="VPLink link pager-link next" href="../user-guide/run-comparison.html" data-v-e257564d><!--[--><span class="desc" data-v-e257564d>Next page</span><span class="title" data-v-e257564d>Run comparison mode</span><!--]--></a></div></nav></footer><!--[--><!--]--></div></div></div><!--[--><!--]--></div></div><!----><!--[--><!--]--></div></div>

id="understanding-findings" tabindex="-1">Understanding findings <a class="header-anchor" href="#understanding-findings" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Understanding findings&quot;"></a></h1><p>Every flagged problem carries a short ALL-CAPS tag. This page has one entry per tag: what it means, and what to do about it.</p><p>Turn on <a href="./getting-started.html#advanced-view">Advanced view</a> in the dashboard to see, per finding, the confidence level and a link to the same background reading collected here, opened in an in-app &quot;Reference&quot; panel next to the board. A few tags share that reading with another tag, because the underlying Spark-tuning material overlaps: <code>SFAIL</code> with <code>FAIL</code>, <code>PART</code> with <code>SHFL</code>, <code>SPEC</code> with <code>STRAG</code>, and <code>CACHE</code>/<code>LOCAL</code> with <code>UTIL</code>.</p><h2 id="per-stage" tabindex="-1">Per-stage <a class="header-anchor" href="#per-stage" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Per-stage&quot;"></a></h2><h3 id="skew" tabindex="-1"><code>SKEW</code>: Task skew <a class="header-anchor" href="#skew" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SKEW`: Task skew {#skew}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A small number of tasks take much longer than their peers in the same stage. For join-driven skew, enable AQE skew-join handling (<code>spark.sql.adaptive.skewJoin.enabled</code>); otherwise salt the key or repartition on a better key.</p><h3 id="shfl" tabindex="-1"><code>SHFL</code>: Shuffle I/O <a class="header-anchor" href="#shfl" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SHFL`: Shuffle I/O {#shfl}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks move a large amount of intermediate data between stages. Raise <code>spark.sql.shuffle.partitions</code>, or add a broadcast join.</p><h3 id="spill" tabindex="-1"><code>SPILL</code>: Memory and disk spill <a class="header-anchor" href="#spill" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SPILL`: Memory and disk spill {#spill}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks are writing data out of memory, which slows execution. Two spill patterns get flagged differently: skew spill, where a few heavy tasks spill while most don&#39;t (rebalance partitioning), and volume spill, where most tasks spill because the data genuinely exceeds available memory (add partitions).</p><h3 id="gc" tabindex="-1"><code>GC</code>: Garbage collection pressure <a class="header-anchor" href="#gc" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`GC`: Garbage collection pressure {#gc}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks spend an unusually large share of time reclaiming memory. Reduce object creation: use primitive types, avoid UDFs, or raise executor memory.</p><h3 id="fail" tabindex="-1"><code>FAIL</code>: Failed tasks <a class="header-anchor" href="#fail" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`FAIL`: Failed tasks {#fail}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks fail often enough to affect the stage. Failed tasks point to executor instability or data-driven errors: check driver logs for the dominant failure reason.</p><h3 id="sfail" tabindex="-1"><code>SFAIL</code>: Failed stage <a class="header-anchor" href="#sfail" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SFAIL`: Failed stage {#sfail}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A stage attempt failed outright rather than losing individual tasks within it. Inspect the driver log for the failure reason and the job that triggered it.</p><h3 id="strag" tabindex="-1"><code>STRAG</code>: Straggler tasks <a class="header-anchor" href="#strag" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`STRAG`: Straggler tasks {#strag}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A few tasks run much slower than the rest of their stage. Rule out a GC pause or a slow shuffle fetch before assuming a hardware issue; if a skewed key is the real cause, that&#39;s a candidate for AQE&#39;s skew-join handling.</p><h3 id="spec" tabindex="-1"><code>SPEC</code>: Speculation waste <a class="header-anchor" href="#spec" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SPEC`: Speculation waste {#spec}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Speculative task attempts used a lot of executor time without confirming a genuine straggler. Self-flags a confidence that scales with how far the wasted time sits past the threshold: these thresholds are still a design spike, not yet validated against real-world runs. If task durations are just naturally variable rather than genuine stragglers, tune <code>spark.speculation.multiplier</code>/<code>spark.speculation.quantile</code>.</p><h3 id="retry" tabindex="-1"><code>RETRY</code>: Retry waste <a class="header-anchor" href="#retry" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`RETRY`: Retry waste {#retry}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Repeated task attempts ate into execution time even though the stage completed. Investigate executor loss or fetch failures.</p><h3 id="tiny" tabindex="-1"><code>TINY</code>: Tiny tasks <a class="header-anchor" href="#tiny" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`TINY`: Tiny tasks {#tiny}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Many very short tasks add scheduling overhead out of proportion to the work each one does. Repartition to fewer, larger tasks.</p><h3 id="part" tabindex="-1"><code>PART</code>: Partition sizing <a class="header-anchor" href="#part" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`PART`: Partition sizing {#part}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Shuffle partitions are too large, too uneven, or too few for the work. A single shuffle partition over 5 GB, for example, will OOM or spill heavily: repartition to break it up before the stage runs.</p><h3 id="slow" tabindex="-1"><code>SLOW</code>: Stage slowness <a class="header-anchor" href="#slow" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SLOW`: Stage slowness {#slow}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A stage ran long overall without a more specific cause getting flagged. Often a partition-count problem: raise parallelism via <code>spark.sql.shuffle.partitions</code> or <code>spark.default.parallelism</code>, or check for a large per-task data volume driving heavy shuffle and spill.</p><h3 id="shape" tabindex="-1"><code>SHAPE</code>: Stage shape <a class="header-anchor" href="#shape" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`SHAPE`: Stage shape {#shape}&quot;"></a></h3><p>The stage has an inefficient task count, output shape, or task-to-stage balance: for example, one straggler task taking a large fraction of the stage&#39;s wall-clock time.</p><h3 id="host" tabindex="-1"><code>HOST</code>: Slow host <a class="header-anchor" href="#host" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`HOST`: Slow host {#host}&quot;"></a></h3><p>One executor is much slower than its peers. It may just hold data locality for its tasks or carry one heavy stage, rather than a hardware fault. Enable <code>spark.speculation</code> to relaunch a lagging task automatically.</p><h2 id="app-level" tabindex="-1">App-level <a class="header-anchor" href="#app-level" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;App-level&quot;"></a></h2><h3 id="cold" tabindex="-1"><code>COLD</code>: Executor cold start <a class="header-anchor" href="#cold" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`COLD`: Executor cold start {#cold}&quot;"></a></h3><p>New executors take time to become available for work. Pre-warm the cluster, or use dynamic allocation.</p><h3 id="util" tabindex="-1"><code>UTIL</code>: Low utilization <a class="header-anchor" href="#util" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`UTIL`: Low utilization {#util}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Allocated executors sit idle for a large share of the application run. Consider a smaller cluster, or enable dynamic allocation.</p><h3 id="mem" tabindex="-1"><code>MEM</code>: Memory utilization <a class="header-anchor" href="#mem" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`MEM`: Memory utilization {#mem}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Executor memory or core capacity may be over- or under-provisioned. Some detail here needs <code>spark.eventLog.logStageExecutorMetrics=true</code> on the run being analyzed; without it, per-executor memory usage can&#39;t be broken down. Review <code>spark.executor.memory</code> and executor count if allocated memory sat largely idle over the run. That idle-memory variant self-flags a confidence that scales with how far the estimated waste sits past a 1.5x buffer: it estimates waste from allocated-versus-used memory-time. Check it against the Spark UI before resizing anything.</p><h3 id="cache" tabindex="-1"><code>CACHE</code>: Caching opportunity <a class="header-anchor" href="#cache" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`CACHE`: Caching opportunity {#cache}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A reusable dataset (re-read via the same SQL relation more than once) may be worth persisting between stages. Self-flags a confidence that scales with how many executions reuse the same relation: reuse is only inferred, from plan-scan identity across SQL executions, so confirm the reads really do hit the same data before you cache anything.</p><h3 id="cstor" tabindex="-1"><code>CSTOR</code>: Cache storage <a class="header-anchor" href="#cstor" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`CSTOR`: Cache storage {#cstor}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A persisted dataset is not fully cached in memory, or is spilling to disk. Raise executor memory, or shrink the cached dataset.</p><h3 id="local" tabindex="-1"><code>LOCAL</code>: Core usage locality <a class="header-anchor" href="#local" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`LOCAL`: Core usage locality {#local}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Tasks run without process- or node-local data placement more often than expected. Check <code>spark.locality.wait</code> settings and executor/data colocation. Self-flags a confidence that scales with the non-local ratio and sample size: the thresholds are our own noise floor for this metric.</p><h3 id="chrn" tabindex="-1"><code>CHRN</code>: Autoscaling churn <a class="header-anchor" href="#chrn" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`CHRN`: Autoscaling churn {#chrn}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Executors are stood up and torn down again before they can do useful work: re-provisioning churn rather than normal scale-down. Raise <code>spark.dynamicAllocation.executorIdleTimeout</code>, or widen the <code>minExecutors</code>/<code>maxExecutors</code> bounds to reduce flapping. Self-flags a confidence that scales with how far the short-lived-executor share sits past the threshold: these thresholds are still a design spike, not yet validated against real-world runs.</p><h3 id="jobs" tabindex="-1"><code>JOBS</code>: Job failure rate <a class="header-anchor" href="#jobs" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`JOBS`: Job failure rate {#jobs}&quot;"></a></h3><p>A large share of completed jobs did not succeed. Inspect the driver log for the failed job(s) and the stage failures that triggered them.</p><h3 id="incmp" tabindex="-1"><code>INCMP</code>: Incomplete run <a class="header-anchor" href="#incmp" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`INCMP`: Incomplete run {#incmp}&quot;"></a></h3><p>This event log never recorded an <code>ApplicationEnd</code> event: capture stopped before the run finished (an in-flight job, a rotated-away log, or a cut-short capture). Every other finding and metric on the board reflects only what was captured up to that point, not the full run.</p><h2 id="configuration-scope" tabindex="-1">Configuration scope <a class="header-anchor" href="#configuration-scope" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Configuration scope&quot;"></a></h2><h3 id="cfg" tabindex="-1"><code>CFG</code>: Configuration audit <a class="header-anchor" href="#cfg" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`CFG`: Configuration audit {#cfg}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Flags configuration settings that may cause reliability or efficiency problems, independent of any one stage&#39;s behavior. Four properties are audited today:</p><ul><li><code>spark.shuffle.service.enabled</code>: flagged when dynamic allocation is on but the external shuffle service is off, since shuffle data won&#39;t survive executor removal.</li><li><code>spark.dynamicAllocation.maxExecutors</code>: flagged for inverted bounds or a missing upper bound.</li><li><code>spark.serializer</code>: flagged when still on the default Java serializer; <code>org.apache.spark.serializer.KryoSerializer</code> is faster and produces smaller buffers.</li><li><code>spark.executor.memoryOverhead</code>: flagged when set below a safe floor.</li></ul><h2 id="sql-scope" tabindex="-1">SQL scope <a class="header-anchor" href="#sql-scope" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;SQL scope&quot;"></a></h2><h3 id="plan" tabindex="-1"><code>PLAN</code>: Plan advisor <a class="header-anchor" href="#plan" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;`PLAN`: Plan advisor {#plan}&quot;"></a></h3><p>Flags patterns in the SQL execution plan worth reviewing. Four checks share this tag:</p><ul><li>Duplicate plan subtree: the same subtree recomputed more than once in the plan.</li><li>Small files: reading an excessive number of small files.</li><li>Under-broadcast: the smaller side of a Sort Merge Join looks well under the broadcast threshold; consider a <code>broadcast()</code> hint or raising <code>spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold</code>.</li><li>Over-broadcast: a broadcast exceeds the 1 GB threshold; check for a misapplied broadcast hint or a misconfigured <code>spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold</code>.</li></ul></div></div></main><footer class="VPDocFooter" data-v-39a288b8 data-v-e257564d><!--[--><!--]--><!----><nav class="prev-next" aria-labelledby="doc-footer-aria-label" data-v-e257564d><span class="visually-hidden" id="doc-footer-aria-label" data-v-e257564d>Pager</span><div class="pager" data-v-e257564d><a class="VPLink link pager-link prev" href="../user-guide/getting-started.html" data-v-e257564d><!--[--><span class="desc" data-v-e257564d>Previous page</span><span class="title" data-v-e257564d>Getting started</span><!--]--></a></div><div class="pager" data-v-e257564d><a class="VPLink link pager-link next" href="../user-guide/run-comparison.html" data-v-e257564d><!--[--><span class="desc" data-v-e257564d>Next page</span><span class="title" data-v-e257564d>Run comparison mode</span><!--]--></a></div></nav></footer><!--[--><!--]--></div></div></div><!--[--><!--]--></div></div><!----><!--[--><!--]--></div></div>
