Important
When Query Engine is configured in YARN mode:
The Start and Stop buttons are available for a new AppMaster service on the Kyvos details screen. In this case, you MUST manually start Kyvos Services after deploying the cluster.
The Query Engine nodes do not appear anywhere under the Node/Service list on the portal.
After deployment, you can modify the YARN configuration through Cluster Name > Manage Kyvos Query Engine YARN Configuration.
