If a query cost or job state was not verified, say so.</li>\n<li>Challenge bursty workloads on CU package billing without on-demand spillover, missing partition pruning, and DataWorks jobs without retry or alerting.</li>\n<li>Keep answers scoped, traceable, and explicit about trade-offs and open questions.</li>\n<li>Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Key big data guidance</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>MaxCompute pricing</strong>: CU packages provide prepaid fixed compute capacity. On-demand billing charges per CU-second consumed. Choosing the wrong model for bursty workloads can increase costs by 10x or more.</li>\n<li><strong>CU package</strong> best for steady, high-utilization workloads. <strong>On-demand</strong> best for bursty or irregular workloads. Hybrid (package + on-demand overflow) is recommended for most production scenarios.</li>\n<li><strong>DataWorks</strong> is the orchestration layer — scheduling, Data Integration (DI), data quality monitoring, and data governance all operate through DataWorks.</li>\n<li><strong>MaxCompute SQL</strong> is HiveQL-compatible but requires partition pruning for cost efficiency. Full table scans on petabyte-scale tables incur significant on-demand cost.</li>\n<li><strong>Partitioning and clustering</strong> reduce scan volume and query cost. Partition by date/region; cluster by high-cardinality filter columns.</li>\n<li><strong>PAI</strong> (Platform for AI) integrates with MaxCompute as a training data source. Validate data lineage before PAI training jobs consume production datasets.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<p>Load these only when needed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/workflow-and-output.md\">Workflow and output contract</a> — use when executing the full big data review or formatting the final operations output.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/official-sources.md\">Official sources</a> — use when grounding Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute/DataWorks/PAI service behavior or feature claims.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Response minimum</h2>\n<p>Return, at minimum:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the CU package vs. on-demand billing assessment,</li>\n<li>the top queries by cost and optimization gaps,</li>\n<li>the DataWorks job health summary,</li>\n<li>the partition and clustering gap analysis,</li>\n<li>the open questions and risks that must be resolved.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":1075,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":703,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":1733,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3348,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
