Group by

Specify one of the following values:
Default is true.
|
Multiple threads
| Number of worker threads that the Metadata Manager Agent uses to extract metadata asynchronously. Leave blank or enter a positive integer value.
If blank, the Metadata Manager Agent calculates the number of worker threads. The Metadata Manager Agent allocates between one and six threads based on the JVM architecture and the number of available CPU cores on the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Agent. If you specify a value that is not valid, the Metadata Manager Agent allocates one worker thread.
Reduce the number of worker threads if the Metadata Manger Agent generates out of memory errors when it extracts metadata. You can increase the number of worker threads if the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Agent has a large amount of available memory, for example, 10 GB or more. However, if you specify too many worker threads, performance can decrease.
Default is blank.
