Hi Ayan, Yeah, I understand your proposal, but according to here http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#jdbc-to-other-databases, it says
Notice that lowerBound and upperBound are just used to decide the partition stride, not for filtering the rows in table. So all rows in the table will be partitioned and returned. This option applies only to reading. So my interpretation is all rows in the table are ingested, and this "lowerBound" and "upperBound" is the span of each partition. Well, I am not a native English speaker, maybe it means differently?
