We're excited to introduce a new feature that will streamline your interactive sessions on Ilum! Say goodbye to inactive sessions taking up unnecessary resources. With our latest update, we've implemented a smart solution to automatically pause interactive sessions that have been inactive for over a week.

 

Here's how it works: if an interactive session remains idle for a specified amount of time, Ilum will scale it down to zero, freeing up resources for other tasks. But don't worry about losing your progress or data. As soon as ilum-core detects any activity or a request to resume the session, it will promptly scale it back to one session, allowing you to pick up right where you left off.

 

This enhancement not only optimizes resource utilization but also ensures a smoother and more efficient experience for all Ilum users. No more manual intervention required to manage inactive sessions. Ilum takes care of it for you, so you can focus on your work without interruptions.

 

Experience the convenience of seamless session management with Ilum's latest update. Stay productive, stay efficient, and let Ilum handle the rest. We're committed to enhancing your Spark session management experience, making your workflow even more effortless and enjoyable. Try it out today and see the difference!

 

We are excited to announce a new enhancement to Ilum that will take your job management experience to the next level! Introducing the new `tag` field for jobs, designed to make job identification and organization a breeze.

 

With the addition of the `tag` field, you can now add custom tags to your jobs, helping you easily categorize and filter them based on your specific needs. Whether you want to label jobs by project, team, priority, or any other criteria, the `tag` field allows for seamless organization and quick retrieval of information.

 

We are excited to announce a major enhancement to Ilum that will revolutionize how you manage your big data environments - the official release of our Hive Metastore integration feature! 🚀 Say goodbye to the beta phase. This essential tool is now a standard part of Ilum, ready to supercharge your data management capabilities.

 

With the new Hive Metastore integration, you can efficiently handle metadata for your big data projects, ensuring a seamless way to manage schema and metadata across different storage solutions and formats. This means less time spent wrestling with data organization and more time focusing on what truly matters - deriving valuable insights from your data.
