Samphel Norden commented on SPARK-9347: --------------------------------------- It will certainly help.Is it sufficient to put the _metadata file at the top level folder or does every subfolder need the metadata... For example, I have a hiearchy root/parquet_date=<>/parquet_hour_of_day=<>/part*.snappy.parquet Is it sufficient if _metadata files are present at root or do they have to be in each parquet_hour_of_day=<> leaf folder.
