Cloud Dataproc Quotas

Cloud Dataproc has API quota limits that are enforced at the project level. The quotas reset every sixty seconds (one-minute).

Handling Cloud Dataproc Quota Errors: If you exceed a Cloud Dataproc quota limit, a RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED (HTTP code 429) is generated, and the corresponding Cloud Dataproc API request will fail. However, since your project's Cloud Dataproc quota is refreshed every sixty seconds, you can retry your request after one minute has elapsed following the failure.

The following table lists the specific and default per-project Cloud Dataproc API quota types, quota limits, and the methods to which they apply.

Quota Type	Limit	Applicable API Methods
ClusterOperationRequestsPerMinutePerProject	100	CreateCluster, DeleteCluster, UpdateCluster, DiagnoseCluster
JobOperationRequestsPerMinutePerProject	200	SubmitJob, UpdateJob, CancelJob, DeleteJob
GetJobRequestsPerMinutePerProject	5000	GetJob
WorkflowOperationRequestsPerMinutePerProject	100	CreateWorkflowTemplate, InstantiateWorkflowTemplate, InstantiateInlineWorkflowTemplate, UpdateWorkflowTemplate, DeleteWorkflowTemplate
DefaultRequestsPerMinutePerProject	2000	All other operations (primarily Get operations)

Increasing Resource Quota Limits: Open the Google Cloud Platform IAM & admin→Quotas page, and select the resources you want to modify. Then click Edit Quotas at the top of the page to start the quota increase process. If the resources you are trying to increase aren't displayed on the page and the current filtering is "Quotas with usage," change the filtering to "All quotas" by toggling the "Quota type" dropdown.

Other Google Cloud Platform quotas

Cloud Dataproc clusters utilize other GCP products. These products have project-level quotas, which include quotas that apply to Cloud Dataproc use. Some services are required to use Cloud Dataproc, such as Compute Engine and Cloud Storage. Other services, such as BigQuery and Cloud Bigtable, can optionally be used with Cloud Dataproc.

Required services

The following services, which enforce quota limits, are automatically (required to be) used to create Cloud Dataproc clusters.

Compute Engine

Cloud Dataproc clusters utilize Compute Engine virtual machines. The Compute Engine quotas are split into regional and global limits. These limits apply to clusters you create. For example, to create a cluster with one n1-standard-4 master node and two n1-standard-4 worker nodes, you will use 12 virtual CPUs (4 * 3). This cluster usage will count against the regional quota limit of 24 virtual CPUs.

Free trial quotas: If you use the Compute Engine free trial, your project will have a limit of 8 CPUs. To increase this limit, you must enable billing on the project.

Default clusters

When you create a Cloud Dataproc cluster with default settings, the following Compute Engine resources are used.

Item	Resources used
Virtual CPUs	12
Virtual Machine (VM) Instances	3
Persistent disk	1500 GB

Stackdriver Logging

Cloud Dataproc saves driver output and cluster logs in Logging. The Logging quota applies to your Cloud Dataproc clusters.

Optional services

The following services, which have quota limits, can optionally be used with Cloud Dataproc clusters.

BigQuery

When reading or writing data into BigQuery, the BigQuery quota applies.

Bigtable

When reading or writing data into Bigtable, the Bigtable quota applies.
