[GraphX] Preserving Partitions when reading from HDFS

[M Bilal]

Hi,

I have implemented a custom partitioning algorithm to partition graphs in
GraphX. Saving the partitioning graph (the edges) to HDFS creates separate
files in the output folder with the number of files equal to the number of
Partitions.

However, reading back the edges creates number of partitions that are equal
to the number of blocks in the HDFS folder. Is there a way to instead
create the same number of partitions as the number of files written to HDFS
while preserving the original partitioning?

I would like to avoid repartitioning.

Thanks.
