+title: "Auto File Size Management"
+toc: true
+---
+
+This doc will show you how Apache Hudi overcomes the dreaded small files 
problem. A key design decision in Hudi was to 
+avoid creating small files in the first place and always write properly sized 
files. 
+There are 2 ways to manage small files in Hudi and below will describe the 
advantages and trade-offs of each.
+
+## Auto-Size During ingestion
+
+You can automatically manage size of files during ingestion. This solution 
adds a little latency during ingestion, but
+it ensures that read queries are always efficient as soon as a write is 
committed. If you don't 
+manage file sizing as you write and instead try to periodically run a 
file-sizing clean-up, your queries will be slow until that resize cleanup is 
periodically performed.
+ 
+(Note: [bulk_insert](/docs/next/write_operations) write operation does not 
provide auto-sizing during ingestion)

Review comment:
       Also you might want to change `does not provide` to `does not gurantee` ?
