The allocation system comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to deactivate idle cluster machines of a set of cluster machines. The processor is configured to determine a list of cluster machines storing one or more intermediate data files of a set of intermediate data files; determine a set of idle cluster machines of the set of cluster machines that are neither running one or more tasks of a set of tasks executing or pending on the set of cluster machines nor storing the one or more intermediate data files of the set of intermediate data files, where the set of intermediate data files is associated with the set of tasks executing or pending on the cluster machines; and deactivate each cluster machine of the set of idle cluster machines.

Autoscaling using file access or cache usage for cluster machines

A system for code development and execution includes a client interface and a client processor. The client interface is configured to receive user code for execution and receive an indication of a server that will perform the execution. The client processor is configured to parse the user code to identify one or more data items referred to during the execution. The client processor is also configured to provide the server with an inquiry for metadata regarding the one or more data items, receive the metadata regarding the one or more data items, determine a logical plan based at least in part on the metadata regarding the one or more data items; and provide the logical plan to the server for execution.

Split front end for flexible back end cluster processing

A system for directory level atomic commits includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to provide a set of files. The processor is configured to determine whether a file in a directory has been either 1) atomically committed or 2) written by a non-atomic process and not designated as deleted and provide the file as one file of the set of files in the event that the file in the directory has been either 1) atomically committed or 2) written by a non-atomic process and not designated as deleted.

Directory level atomic commit protocol

The allocation system comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to deactivate idle cluster machines of a set of cluster machines. The processor is configured to determine a set of tasks executing or pending on the set of cluster machines; determine a set of idle cluster machines of the set of cluster machines that are neither running one or more tasks of the set of tasks nor storing one or more intermediate data files of a set of intermediate data files, where the set of intermediate data files is associated with a set of tasks executing or pending on the cluster machines; and deactivate each cluster machine of the set of idle cluster machines.
