Gzip files are not splittable. Hence using very large (i.e. non
partitioned) gzip files lead to contention at reading the files as readers
cannot scale beyond the number of gzip files to read.

Better to use a splittable compression format instead to allow frameworks
to scale up. Or manually manage scaling by using partitions, as you are
doing now.
