ASF GitHub Bot commented on PARQUET-2228: ----------------------------------------- wgtmac commented on PR #1026: URL: https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pull/1026#issuecomment-1431182101 > @wgtmac, by supporting multiple files to rewrite them into one we will end up with the same number of row-groups, right? Therefore, this tool is not ment to be used to solve the "small files problem". I am highlighting this because we've had issues with users misunderstanding the purpose of features like this. Maybe, we should add some notes about it to the help of parquet-cli. You're right. We might add an option to force rewriting the input files record by record so row groups are regenerated by the writer. Does that sound good? > ParquetRewriter supports more than one input file > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PARQUET-2228 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-2228 > Project: Parquet > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: parquet-mr > Reporter: Gang Wu > Assignee: Gang Wu > Priority: Major > > ParquetRewriter currently supports only one input file.
