If you do not create and assign a resource pool for your scheduler, it uses a portion of the GENERAL resource pool. Vertica recommends that you do not use the GENERAL pool for schedulers in production environments. This fallback to the GENERAL pool is intended as a convenience when you test your scheduler configuration. When you are ready to deploy your scheduler, create a resource pool that you tuned to its specific needs. Each time that you start a scheduler that is using the GENERAL pool, the vkconfig utility displays a warning message.

Not allocating enough resources to your schedulers can result in errors. For example, you might get OVERSHOT DEADLINE FOR FRAME errors if the scheduler is unable to load data from all topics in a data frame.
