Hi, In our case, we're using the org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat.SPLIT_MINSIZE to increase the size of the RDD partitions when loading text files, so it would generate larger parquet files. We just set it in the Hadoop conf of the SparkContext. You need to be careful though about setting it to a large value, as you might encounter issues related to this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6235 For our jobs, we're setting the split size to 512MB which generates between 110-200MB parquet files using the default compression. We're using Spark-1.3.1, btw, and we also have the same partitioning of year/month/day for our parquet files.
