How do we process/scale variable size batches in Apache Spark Streaming

[Rachana Srivastava <Ra...@markmonitor.com>]

I am running a spark streaming process where I am getting batch of data after n seconds. I am using repartition to scale the application. Since the repartition size is fixed we are getting lots of small files when batch size is very small. Is there anyway I can change the partitioner logic based on the input batch size in order to avoid lots of small files.
