Set DataFusion runtime configurations through SQL interface #15552

Closed

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

Now we're able to set session configurations through SQL interface:

However, runtime configurations like memory limit can't be set like this, it has to be set through Rust APIs during setup like the following example:

let builder = RuntimeEnvBuilder::new()
.with_memory_pool(Arc::new(FairSpillPool::new(60 * 1024 * 1024)));
let runtime = builder.build_arc().unwrap();
let config = SessionConfig::new().with_sort_spill_reservation_bytes(40 * 1024 * 1024);
let ctx = SessionContext::new_with_config_rt(config, runtime);

Although it's called RuntimeConfiguration, it's still some static parameters to be configured, instead of a long-running daemon. So I think it make sense to be able to change it from query to query, and also provide a easier to use API.
Also, they don't have a user manual like SessionConfig.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Add documents for runtime configurations like memory limit similar to SessionConfig to the user-guide.
  2. Make it configurable through SQL interface.

Describe alternatives you've considered
