Question

A virtual warehouse is created using the following command:

Create warehouse my_WH with warehouse_size = MEDIUM min_cluster_count = 1 max_cluster_count = 1 auto_suspend = 60 auto_resume = true; The image below is a graphical representation of the warehouse utilization across two days. What action should be taken to address this situation?

Options

  • AIncrease the warehouse size from Medium to 2XL.
  • BIncrease the value for the parameter MAX_CONCURRENCY_LEVEL.
  • CConfigure the warehouse to a multi-cluster warehouse.
  • DLower the value of the parameter STATEMENT_QUEUED_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS.

Explanation

The warehouse is configured as a single-cluster warehouse (min_cluster_count=1, max_cluster_count=1). When utilization graphs show sustained high load and queuing across multiple days, the bottleneck is concurrency - more queries arriving than the single cluster can handle simultaneously. The correct fix is to enable multi-cluster warehousing by increasing max_cluster_count beyond 1. Upsizing to 2XL adds compute per query but doesn't help concurrency; MAX_CONCURRENCY_LEVEL and STATEMENT_QUEUED_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS are tuning parameters, not scaling solutions.
