> h3. Problem
> When discovering partitions over a table with many partition directories (e.g., a table partitioned by date spanning several years), {{PartitioningUtils.resolvePartitions}} exhibits O(n²) CPU complexity, causing the driver to spin for hours on the affected threads.
> h3. Root cause
> At line 403:
> {code:scala}
> values.zipWithIndex.map { case (d, index) =>
>     d.copy(typedValues = resolvedValues.map(_(index)))
> }
> {code}
> {{resolvedValues}} is a {{{}Seq[Seq[TypedPartValue]]{}}}, where each inner collection is a linked list. So the {{apply}} method called there is O( n). This is called for every partition and every column, making the total complexity O(n²k), where n = number of partitions and k = number of partition columns.With thousands of daily partitions, this becomes a real issue: a thread "indefinitely" spins at the following stack trace:
> {code:java}
> PartitioningUtils.resolvePartitions
>   - resolvedValues.map(_(index))
>     - List.apply(index)
>       - List.drop(index)
>         - StrictOptimizedLinearSeqOps.loop$2
> {code}
> h3. Fix
> We could change {{resolveTypeConflicts}} to return {{IndexedSeq[TypedPartValue]}} (backed by {{{}Vector{}}}) instead of {{{}Seq{}}}. {{Vector.apply(index)}} is effectively O(1), reducing the overall complexity to O(nk).
