> Set Hdfs Block Size based on Parquet Block Size

> It seems there a way to force Drill to store CTAS generated parquet file as a
> single block when using HDFS. Java HDFS API allows to do that, files could be
> created with the Parquet block-size set in a session or system config.
> Since it is ideal to have single parquet file per hdfs block.
> Here is the HDFS API that allow to do that:
> http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/cdh/4/hadoop/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html#create(org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path,%20boolean,%20int,%20short,%20long)
> http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/cdh/4/hadoop/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html#create(org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path,%20boolean,%20int,%20short,%20long)
> Drill uses the hadoop ParquetFileWriter
> (https://github.com/Parquet/parquet-mr/blob/master/parquet-hadoop/src/main/java/parquet/hadoop/ParquetFileWriter.java).
> This is where the file creation occurs so it might be tricky.
> However, ParquetRecordWriter.java
> (https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/exec/java-exec/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/exec/store/parquet/ParquetRecordWriter.java)
> in Drill creates the ParquetFileWriter with an hadoop configuration object.
> something to explore: Could the block size be set as a property within the
> Configuration object before passing it to ParquetFileWriter constructor?
