Oh, this is interesting. I know removing `Sort` before `Repartition` will result in different data distribution because `Repartition` uses `RoundRobinPartitioning`. Because I think repartition doesn't guarantee shuffled data distribution, so I thought it is okay. Now seems different data distribution causes difference storage output size. I think it is because to repartition sorted data using `RoundRobinPartitioning` can generate more compact output. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
