Derek M Miller updated SPARK-22584: ----------------------------------- Description: I have been seeing some issues with partitionBy for the dataframe writer. I currently have a file that is 6mb, just for testing, and it has around 1487 rows and 21 columns. There is nothing out of the ordinary with the columns, having either a DoubleType or StringType. The partitionBy calls two different partitions with verified low cardinality. One partition has 30 unique values and the other one has 2 unique values. ```scala df .write.partitionBy("first", "second") .mode(SaveMode.Overwrite) .parquet(s"$location$example/$corrId/") ``` When running this example on Amazon's EMR with 5 r4.xlarges (30 gb of memory each), I am getting a java heap out of memory error. I have maximizeResourceAllocation set, and verified on the instances. I have even set it to false, explicitly set the driver and executor memory to 16g, but still had the same issue. Occasionally I get an error about disk space, and the job seems to work if I use an r3.xlarge (that has the ssd). But that seems weird that 6mb of data needs to spill to disk. The problem mainly seems to be centered around two + partitions vs 1. If I just use either of the partitions only, I have no problems. It's also worth noting that each of the partitions are evenly distributed. was: I have been seeing some issues with partitionBy for the dataframe writer.
