Task-execution planning using machine learning

A system for improving task scheduling on a cloud data platform is provided. A task to be executed using resources of a computing cluster is received. A task execution plan is generated and information about data to be used for the ask is accessed. Resource requirements for executing the task are predicted by applying machine learning to the task execution plan and the information about the data. Assignment data is generated to execute the task on the resources by applying machine learning information about a current state of the resources and predicted resource requirements.
