>>>*# Question*
I have jobs that use map tasks with cardinality ~3000. The array node takes ~4.5 minutes to start scheduling jobs. Why is it this slow and how can I make it go faster?
# Answer
The delay in starting the scheduling of jobs for map tasks with large cardinality is due to the sequential cache lookup process that Flyte performs in the background. This process checks if the cache lookup for all subtasks is complete before starting the execution of the subtasks, which can be time-consuming for large fanouts.
To improve the performance, you can consider using the
ArrayNode
which parallelizes I/O operations, making it more efficient. As per
Dan Rammer's explanation, this can significantly reduce the time taken for the post-processing phase.
Would you like more detail on how to configure and use
ArrayNode
for your tasks?
