When Is a Data Lake Queue Idle?

An idle queue means that there are no SQL job, Flink job, or Spark job running on the queue.

If no job is running within a natural hour, the queue in that natural hour is idle. You will not be charged during idle hours for a pay-per-use queue.

The computing resources of a pay-per-use queue are released after the queue is idle for one hour. When the queue is used again, the computing resources need to be reallocated, which may take 5 to 10 minutes.

In pay-per-use mode, fees are deducted by hour. For example, 58 minutes of usage will be rounded to the hour.

For example, if a queue is used during 12:10 to 12:30 or 12:10 to 12:55, the user is charged for one hour.
