------------------------------------

             Summary: Pass in number of partitions to BuildWriter
                 Key: SPARK-29248
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29248
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Ximo Guanter


When implementing a ScanBuilder, we require the implementor to provide the 
schema of the data and the number of partitions.

However, when someone is implementing WriteBuilder we only pass them the 
schema, but not the number of partitions. This is an asymetrical developer 
experience. Passing in the number of partitions on the WriteBuilder would 
enable data sources to provision their write targets before starting to write. 
For example, it could be used to provision a Kafka topic with a specific number 
of partitions.
