Sean Owen updated SPARK-9872:
-----------------------------
Component/s: SQL
> Allow passing of 'numPartitions' to DataFrame joins
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-9872
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9872
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1
> Reporter: Al M
> Priority: Minor
>
> When I join two normal RDDs, I can set the number of shuffle partitions in
> the 'numPartitions' argument. When I join two DataFrames I do not have this
> option.
> My spark job loads in 2 large files and 2 small files. When I perform a
> join, this will use the "spark.sql.shuffle.partitions" to determine the
> number of partitions. This means that the join with my small files will use
> exactly the same number of partitions as the join with my large files.
> I can either use a low number of partitions and run out of memory on my large
> join, or use a high number of partitions and my small join will take far too
> long.
> If we were able to specify the number of shuffle partitions in a DataFrame
> join like in an RDD join, this would not be an issue.
> My long term ideal solution would be dynamic partition determination as
> described in SPARK-4630. However I appreciate that it is not particularly
> easy to do.
