The Blaze engine execution plan simplifies the mapping into segments. It contains tasks to start the mapping, run the mapping, and clean up the temporary tables and files. It contains multiple tasklets and the task recovery strategy. It also contains pre- and post-grid task preparation commands for each mapping before running the main mapping on a Hadoop cluster. A pre-grid task can include a task such as copying data to HDFS. A post-grid task can include tasks such as cleaning up temporary files or copying data from HDFS.

The Spark execution plan shows the run-time Scala code that runs the mapping logic. A translation engine translates the mapping into an internal representation of the logic. The internal representation is rendered into Scala code that accesses the Spark API. You can view the Scala code in the execution plan to debug the logic.

The Hive execution plan is a series of Hive queries. The plan contains tasks to start the mapping, run the mapping, and clean up the temporary tables and files. You can view the Hive execution plan that the Data Integration Service generates before you run the mapping. When the Data Integration Service pushes the mapping to the Hive engine, it has a Hive executor that can process the mapping. The Hive executor simplifies the mapping to an equivalent mapping with a reduced set of instructions and generates a Hive execution plan.
