If S2PX is generating Parallel jobs, why don’t those jobs run in Parallel mode? (i.e. Why are all stages configured to run sequentially?)
The design philosophy behind S2PX means that it…
prioritises the delivery of a working Parallel job (if at all possible) above all else
does not attempt to prematurely optimise your design
does not attempt to guess the job Designer’s intentions, but seeks to replicate, as far as technically possible, the job design unambiguously specified in each Server job
The fundamental reason S2PX-generate Parallel jobs run in Sequential mode is that Server job designs don’t provide all the context required to identify the keys necessary to support hashed partitioning. S2PX could have attempted to interpret existing designs and make a guess at your partitioning keys, but this will always involve a degree of ambiguity which could easily result in a non-functioning job which is counter to our primary guiding principle.
