Use below configuration if u r using 1.2 version:-

SET spark.shuffle.consolidateFiles=true;
SET spark.rdd.compress=true;
SET spark.default.parallelism=1000;
SET spark.deploy.defaultCores=54;

Thanks
Puneet.

Subject: Re: Tuning number of partitions per CPU

18 cores or 36? doesn't probably matter.
For this case where you have some overhead per partition of setting up the DB 
connection, it may indeed not help to chop up the data more finely than your 
total parallelism. Although that would imply quite an overhead. Are you doing 
any other expensive initialization per partition in your code?
You might check some other basic things, like, are you bottlenecked on the DB 
(probably not) and are there task stragglers drawing out the completion time.
