@Joseph Kambourakis​ great thanks.👍 Just to make things clear, here Query 1 is fired first followed by Query2, Query3, etc. like that in sequential order. So if Query 1 runs on say 4 worker nodes of the same VM instead of 2 worker nodes (option B) and similarly for Query 2, Query 3, etc. won't that address the performance issue highlighted in the question
