# Query Priorities

## Overview

Kloudfuse uses query priorities and per-call timeouts to govern how much of the underlying analytics engine (Apache Pinot) any given query is allowed to consume. Operators set cluster-wide defaults and override them for individual users, teams, and service accounts; Kloudfuse resolves the right value for each request through a precedence chain.
