In the Pixels cluster, there is one Coordinator
process and one or more Worker
processes.
The Coordinator
is generally deployed on the same node of the query engine's master
(or coordinator).
While the Workers
are deployed together with the query engine workers and storage data nodes.
Either Coordinator
or Worker
process is started as a stateless daemon process in the server.
Whenever the daemon process is crashed or killed, it only needs a restart to recover.
