Thanks. It is not my exact scenario but I have tried to reproduce it. I have used 1.5.2.
I have a part-movies data-frame which has 20 partitions 1 each for a movie. I created following query val part_sql = sqlContext.sql("select * from part_movies where movie = 10") part_sql.count() I expect that this should just read from 1 partition i.e. partition 10. Other partitions it should max read metadata and not the data. here is physical plan. I could see the filter. From here i can not say whether this filter is causing any partition pruning. If actually pruning is happening i would like to see a operator which mentions the same. == Physical Plan == TungstenAggregate(key=[], functions=[(count(1),mode=Final,isDistinct=false)], output=[count#75L]) TungstenExchange SinglePartition TungstenAggregate(key=[], functions=[(count(1),mode=Partial,isDistinct=false)], output=[currentCount#93L]) Project Filter (movie#33 = 10) InMemoryColumnarTableScan [movie#33], [(movie#33 = 10)], (InMemoryRelation [movie#33,title#34,genres#35], true, 10000, StorageLevel(true, true, false, true, 1), (Scan PhysicalRDD[movie#33,title#34,genres#35]), None) However, my assumption that partition is not pruned is not based on the above plan but when I look at the job and its stages. I could see that it has read full data of the dataframe. I should see around 65KB as that is almost average size of each partition. Aggregated Metrics by Executor Executor ID Address Task Time Total Tasks Failed Tasks Succeeded Tasks Input Size / Records Shuffle Write Size / Records driver localhost:53247 0.4 s 20 0 20 1289.0 KB / 20 840.0 B / 20 Task details only first 7. Here I expect that except 1 task(which access the partitions data) all others should be either 0 KB or just the size of metadata after which it discarded that partition as its data was not needed. But i could see that all the partitions are read. This is small example so it doesnt make diff but for a large dataframe reading all the data even that in memory takes time.
