Hi Mich,
Thanks for quick response.
1. No, I use Batch query with fixed start and end offset.
2. Yes, My message in Kafkas(json format) can have really big difference in
size from 1kb to 9kb. And even when I transform JSON to flat Spark SQL row it
still can has different size.
3. I have two stages: `from_json` function to create a nested StructType(Spark
SQL Row), some spark sql functions(only on row level, no aggregation or join)to
transform NESTED to FLAT SQL Row.
4. I write it in my mail:
4.1 I use spark confidence to enable AQE:

> "spark.sql.adaptive.coalescePartitions.enabled" -> "true",
> "spark.sql.adaptive.advisoryPartitionSizeInBytes" -> "256mb",
> "spark.sql.adaptive.coalescePartitions.minPartitionNum" -> "1",
> "spark.sql.adaptive.coalescePartitions.initialPartitionNum" -> "20000"
> ```
4.2 To debugging and adding custom logs -> I create custom Physical Plan
optimisation.
This optimisation is 99% copy of Spark built in Rule. But with additional
log and force apply to any RangeRepartiton node.

5. This mean that when I don’t enable AQE, My partitions has much better
distribution than with it.
Actually in my specific case my rangeRepartiton give good distribution in
records(rows), but because records size are very uneven.
Mean that number of records in partitions are near the same, but size in
bytes have a big difference. Up to 10 times. Because some records size can be
too big.
And when I enable AQE, Some partitions became even bigger up to 200 times
bigger. So coalesce some how create very big partitions.
And even records(rows) number became uneven.
There are a lot of details, because issue is very strange. And it’s pretty hard
to understand an real issue.
I assume problem in MapOutputStatistics which used as input of coalesce
functions.
But I am not sure, so I split all my debug way into step and put it in mail.
Another issue, that I don’t have a public dataset where I can reproduce this
issue, right now.
And I can’t publish my current dataset out of company, because if privacy.
