Types of service tiers
Dataproc Metastore uses service tiers to handle varying levels of stability and workloads. You can select the service tier when you create a Dataproc Metastore service. You can also change the service tier of an existing service.
There are two types of service tiers:
Developer: The
Developertier is typically used for production for low-cost proof-of-concept projects. This tier provides limited scalability sand no fault tolerance.Enterprise: The
Enterprisetier is typically used for production projects. This tier provides flexible scalability, fault tolerance, and multi-zone high availability. It can handle heavy Dataproc Metastore workloads.
By default, new Dataproc Metastore services are created with the
Developer tier.
