Running Spark Master as cluster admin user

Currently Spark Master runs as the execution user specified in the SIG which happens to be different from cluster admin and depends on SIG tenant/consumer group. That spark master resources such as logs are owned by tenant user makes it difficult ...

GUI based SIG log level change

GUI based cluster admin ability to modify SIG/Spark master log level. This will reduce operational dependency on root and make it a well supported solution for problem investigation.

Optimize SIG package deployment for upgrade or rollback

SIG package deployment takes upto 10 minutes or so in a 50+ SIGs and 1000+ nodes cluster. Refactoring SIG deployment such that package distribution and enablement are independently managed. This will allow scheduling new SIG package distribution a...

SIG config deployment optimization

SIG configuration update currently does full SIG deployment which includes Spark package as well. That on a large cluster with many SIGs can run into hours of deployment. This RFE is requesting to optimize SIG deployment process for Spark configur...

DB2 LOAD/IMPORT should support z/OS

With DB2 Connect you can easily execute DDL from a remote workstation to create/modify existing z/OS DB Objects. However, when you need to delete and recreate tables while keeping the data (and ALTER ist not an option) it is necessary to open a TS...

new breakthrough clustering algorithm

I created a new clustering algorithm which can be used with all types of response data which is gathered during consumer tests of product concepts, product prototypes, final products and marketing communication campaigns. My new clustering algorit...

Allow more then 8bytes for DATABASE NAME.(RIMS)

Database names are currently limited to 8 characters (bytes) in size. This is painful when dealing with hundreds/thousands of databases.

Parallel index creation for partitions of a partitioned-table(RIMS)

[JPMC EDW] Currently, a create-index statement with the PARTITIONED clause will process each partition sequentially. Ideally DB2 would perform this with some degree of parallelism. Currently, this can be accomplished by detaching the individual pa...

Victimization of unused compression dictionaries from DBHEAP(RIMS)

Compression and Expansion dictionaries for each object (table, index) remain in memory until database deactivation time. This is problematic because enough DBHEAP must be allocated to host a compression/expansion dictionary for EACH object that is...
