Hello, I have a proposal for a small improvement in the Datasource API and I'd like to know if it sounds like a change the Spark project would accept.
Currently, the `.save` method in DataFrameWriter will fail if the dataframe is bucketed and/or sorted. This makes sense, since there is no way of storing metadata in the current file-based data sources to know whether a file was bucketed or not. I have a use case where I would like to implement a new, file-based data source which could keep track of that kind of metadata (without using the HiveMetastore), so I would like to be able to `.save` bucketed dataframes. Would a patch to extend the datasource api with an indicator of whether that source is able to serialize bucketed dataframes be a welcome addition? I'm happy to work on it if that's the case. I have opened this as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26160 in the Spark Jira. Cheers, Ximo. ________________________________ Este mensaje y sus adjuntos se dirigen exclusivamente a su destinatario, puede contener informaci?n privilegiada o confidencial y es para uso exclusivo de la persona o entidad de destino.
