Query Group Lifecycle API

The Query Group Lifecycle API in creates, updates, retrieves, and deletes query groups. The API categorizes queries into specific groups, called query groups based on desired resource limits.

Paths and HTTP method

PUT _wlm/query_group
PUT _wlm/query_group/<name>
GET _wlm/query_group
GET _wlm/query_group/<name>
DELETE _wlm/query_group/<name>

Request body fields

Field Description
_id The ID of the query group, which can be used to associate query requests with the group and enforce the group’s resource limits.
name The name of the query group.
resiliency_mode The resiliency mode of the query group. Valid modes are enforced, soft, and monitor. For more information about resiliency modes, see Operating modes.
resource_limits The resource limits for query requests in the query group. Valid resources are cpu and memory.

When creating a query group, make sure that the sum of the resource limits for a single resource, either cpu or memory, does not exceed 1.
