The <strong>Per-stage task skew</strong> table covers only stages matched this way, and the page states what percentage of stages that was.

tabindex="-1">Run comparison mode <a class="header-anchor" href="#run-comparison-mode" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Run comparison mode&quot;">​</a></h1><p>Put two runs side by side to see whether a tuning change helped.</p><h2 id="starting-a-comparison" tabindex="-1">Starting a comparison <a class="header-anchor" href="#starting-a-comparison" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Starting a comparison&quot;">​</a></h2><p>From the landing page, click <strong>Compare two runs</strong>. Two slots appear: <strong>Run A (baseline)</strong> and <strong>Run B (candidate)</strong>.</p><ol><li>Load a file into each slot the same way you&#39;d load a single run (drag and drop, or <strong>Choose file</strong>).</li><li>Click <strong>Compare</strong>.</li></ol><p>The runs parse one after the other through the same background worker. When both finish, the comparison view opens.</p><p>Already looking at a run, for example the one before a change? Click <strong>Compare with another run</strong> in the top bar (or the <strong>More options</strong> menu on a phone). The compare view opens with that run as Run A, so you only load Run B, and the open run is not parsed again. <strong>Back to the run</strong> returns to its dashboard.</p><h2 id="reading-the-comparison" tabindex="-1">Reading the comparison <a class="header-anchor" href="#reading-the-comparison" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Reading the comparison&quot;">​</a></h2><p>The page opens with a verdict: whether run B finished faster or slower than run A, and by how much (a change under 2% reads as &quot;about as long&quot;). When either run had failed jobs, the verdict leads with that instead, for example &quot;Run B had 2 of 5 jobs fail (run A: none)&quot; or &quot;Run B&#39;s only job failed&quot;, and the run-time line follows. When either log has no end-of-run record (the run was killed or the log cut off), the verdict says how much run time each log covers, in a neutral tone, instead of calling the shorter run faster. It then lists which cost metrics got worse or better in run B (again ignoring changes under 2%), and which finding categories became more or less frequent. Volume and count metrics (input, output, tasks, executors) are left out, since more or less of them is not better or worse on its own. <strong>See where to start in run B</strong> opens run B&#39;s dashboard, whose own verdict names the first thing to fix.</p><p>The <strong>Metrics</strong> table covers the whole run: wall-clock duration, shuffle spill, task skew, failed-task rate, disk spill, GC time, input/output bytes, executor run-time, and task/executor counts, baseline against candidate with the change. <strong>Findings by category</strong> lists which finding types appeared or disappeared between the two runs, with the affected stages for each.</p><p>Stage-level detail depends on matching a stage in the baseline to its counterpart in the candidate, and SparkForensics only does that automatically when a stage&#39;s identity (its position in the SQL plan) resolves to exactly one match on both sides; AQE&#39;s runtime replanning makes a plain stage-ID match unreliable. The <strong>Per-stage task skew</strong> table covers only stages matched this way, and the page states what percentage of stages that was. If matching is uncertain (for example, the two runs came from different application names), a warning banner says so; the metric deltas above it still hold; they don&#39;t depend on stage matching.</p><p>For everything else, matching is manual: the <strong>Pinned per-stage deltas</strong> widget lets you pick one stage from the baseline and one from the candidate yourself and pin the pair, then shows their duration, executor run-time, GC time, memory/disk spill, input/output bytes, task count, and failed tasks side by side. Pin as many pairs as you want to check.</p><p>For either run&#39;s full dashboard, click <strong>View run A dashboard</strong> or <strong>View run B dashboard</strong>. <strong>← Back to comparison</strong> takes you back.</p><h2 id="comparing-without-the-dashboard" tabindex="-1">Comparing without the dashboard <a class="header-anchor" href="#comparing-without-the-dashboard" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Comparing without the dashboard&quot;">​</a></h2><p>The same comparison runs headlessly, and opens with the same verdict: the positional run is run B, the <code>--baseline</code> run is run A. The CLI&#39;s <code>--baseline</code> flag adds a comparison section to its output (<code>comparison.verdict</code> in JSON) and can gate a build on it (<code>--max-regression-pct</code>, <code>--fail-on-introduced</code>; see <a href="./getting-started.html#ci-and-automation">Getting started</a>). The MCP server&#39;s <code>compare_runs</code> and <code>evaluate_budgets</code> tools do the same for an AI assistant; see <a href="./mcp-tools.html">MCP tools reference</a>.</p></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="/docs/user-guide/understanding-findings.html" data-v-e257564d><!--[--><span class="desc" data-v-e257564d>Previous page</span><span class="title" data-v-e257564d>Understanding findings</span><!--]--></a></div><div class="pager" data-v-e257564d><a class="VPLink link pager-link next" href="/docs/user-guide/mcp-tools.html" data-v-e257564d><!--[--><span class="desc" data-v-e257564d>Next page</span><span class="title" data-v-e257564d>MCP tools reference</span><!--]--></a></div></nav></footer><!--[--><!--]--></div></div></div><!--[--><!--]--></div></div><!----><!--[--><!--]--></div></div>
