Hi All, I wanted to persist dataframe on HDFS. Basically, I am inserting data into a HIVE table using Spark. Currently, at the time of writing to HIVE table I have set total shuffle partitions = 400 so total 400 files are being created which is not even considering HDFS block size. How can I tell spark to persist according to HDFS Blocks. We have something like this HIVE which solves this problem: set hive.merge.sparkfiles=true; set hive.merge.smallfiles.avgsize=2048000000; set hive.merge.size.per.task=4096000000; Thanks -- Shivam Sharma Indian Institute Of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing Jabalpur Mobile No- (+91) 8882114744 Email:- 28shivamsha...@gmail.com<mailto:28shivamsha...@gmail.com> LinkedIn:-https://www.linkedin.com/in/28shivamsharma
