> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.5
> Environment: spark:2.4.5

> Hi ,
> SparkSql now allow us to use repartition or coalesce to manually control the
> small files like the following
> /*+ REPARTITION(1) */
> /*+ COALESCE(1) */
> But it can only be tuning case by case ,we need to decide whether we need to
> use COALESCE or REPARTITION,can we try a more common way to reduce the
> decision by set the target size as hive did
> *Good points:*
> 1)we will also the new partitions number
> 2)with an ON-OFF parameter provided , user can close it if needed
> 3)the parmeter can be set at cluster level instand of user side,it will be
> more easier to controll samll files.
> 4)greatly reduce the pressue of namenode
>
> *Not good points:*
> 1)It will add a new task to calculate the target numbers by stastics the out
> files.
>
> I don't know whether we have planned this in future.
>
> Thanks
