The descriptions of the columns in the RESOURCE_GROUPS table are as follows:

• NAME: the name of the resource group.
• RU_PER_SEC: the backfilling speed of the resource group. The unit is RU/second, in which RU means Request Unit.
• PRIORITY: the absolute priority of tasks to be processed on TiKV. Different resources are scheduled according to the PRIORITY setting. Tasks with high PRIORITY are scheduled first. For resource groups with the same PRIORITY, tasks will be scheduled proportionally according to the RU_PER_SEC configuration. If PRIORITY is not specified, the default priority is MEDIUM.
• BURSTABLE: whether to allow the resource group to overuse the available system resources.
