Apache Spark commented on SPARK-12150: -------------------------------------- User 'gatorsmile' has created a pull request for this issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/10149 > numPartitions argument to sqlContext.range() should be optional > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-12150 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12150 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Reporter: Henri DF > Priority: Minor > > It's a little inconsistent that the first two sqlContext.range() methods > don't take a numPartitions arg, while the third one does. > And more importantly, it's a little inconvenient that the numPartitions arg > is mandatory for the third range() method - it means that if you want to > specify a step, you suddenly have to think about partitioning - an orthogonal > concern. > My suggestion would be to make numPartitions optional, like it is on the > sparkContext.range(..). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
