Jungtaek Lim commented on SPARK-29248:
--------------------------------------

SPARK-23889 would be the correct approach to address this - we need to provide 
the information "how" to repartition as well. So maybe this can be closed as 
duplicated if you think otherwise?

Please vote to SPARK-23889 as well as leave a comment to show your interest. 
Thanks!

> When implementing a ScanBuilder, we require the implementor to provide the 
> schema of the data and the number of partitions.
> However, when someone is implementing WriteBuilder we only pass them the 
> schema, but not the number of partitions. This is an asymetrical developer 
> experience. Passing in the number of partitions on the WriteBuilder would 
> enable data sources to provision their write targets before starting to 
> write. For example, it could be used to provision a Kafka topic with a 
> specific number of partitions.
