> -------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-19503
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19503
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Optimizer
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Environment: Perhaps only a pyspark or databricks AWS issue
> Reporter: R
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: execution, optimizer, plan, query
>
> df.sort(...).count()
> performs shuffle and sort and then count! This is wasteful as sort is not
> required here and makes me wonder how smart the algebraic optimiser is
> indeed! The data may be partitioned by known count (such as parquet files)
> and we should not shuffle to just perform count.
> This may look trivial, but if optimiser fails to recognise this, I wonder
> what else is it missing especially in more complex operations.
