             Summary: Optimize mergeSpillsWithFileStream method
                 Key: SPARK-20014
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20014
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Sital Kedia


When the individual partition size in a spill is small, 
mergeSpillsWithTransferTo method does many small disk ios which is really 
inefficient. One way to improve the performance will be to use 
mergeSpillsWithFileStream method by turning off transfer to and using buffered 
file read/write to improve the io throughput. 
However, the current implementation of mergeSpillsWithFileStream does not do a 
buffer read/write of the files and in addition to that it unnecessarily 
opens/close the output files for each partitions.
