When working with datasets, Spark uses spark.sql.shuffle.partitions. It defaults to 200. Between that and the default parallelism you can control the number of partitions (except for the initial read).
More info here: http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#other-configuration-options I have no idea why it defaults to a fixed 200 (while default parallelism defaults to a number scaled to your number of cores), or why there are two separate configuration properties. -- Daniel Siegmann Senior Software Engineer *SecurityScorecard Inc.* 214 W 29th Street, 5th Floor New York, NY 10001 On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 9:53 AM, Deepak Sharma <deepakmc...@gmail.com> wrote: > I guess the issue is spark.default.parallelism is ignored when you are > working with Data frames.It is supposed to work with only raw RDDs. > > Thanks > Deepak > > On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 10:05 PM, Noorul Islam Kamal Malmiyoda < > noo...@noorul.com> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I have the following spark configuration >> >> spark.app.name=Test >> spark.cassandra.connection.host=127.0.0.1 >> spark.cassandra.connection.keep_alive_ms=5000 >> spark.cassandra.connection.port=10000 >> spark.cassandra.connection.timeout_ms=30000 >> spark.cleaner.ttl=3600 >> spark.default.parallelism=4 >> spark.master=local[2] >> spark.ui.enabled=false >> spark.ui.showConsoleProgress=false >> >> Because I am setting spark.default.parallelism to 4, I was expecting >> only 4 spark partitions.
