Full Article

In the continuous evolution of data platforms, a very common yet subtle misconception is that teams unconsciously allow the scheduling system to take on more and more responsibilities that do not belong to it, such as writing complex business logic in the scheduling layer, controlling computation parameters, and even attempting to centrally manage execution details across different computing engines. In the short term, this may seem to improve efficiency, but in the long run, such a de
