Examples
This section lists some example SQL queries that show you how to use the ALTER JOB
statement.
Suspend and Resume a Job
You may want to suspend a job to perform maintenance on a source or a sink without disrupting the job.
ALTER JOB track_trades SUSPEND
When maintenance is finished, you can resume the job to restart it.
ALTER JOB track_trades RESUME
Restart a Job
You may want to restart a job if you want to distribute it over some new members in your cluster and auto-scaling is disabled.
ALTER JOB track_trades RESTART
Update the Configuration of a Suspended Job
Currently, Jet processors implement basic memory management by limiting the number of objects individual processors store. When this number is exceeded, the job fails. To recover the failed job, try updating the job configuration to increase the processor limit, and resume the job.
ALTER JOB hello-world OPTIONS ('maxProcessorAccumulatedRecords'='100') RESUME;
You might also consider increasing the number of records that each processor can accumulate, if SQL operations such as grouping, sorting, or joining end in errors.
By default, all streaming jobs are automatically suspended on failure. |
