>          Components: SQL

> Hive has a feature that could automatically merge small files in HQL's output path. 
> This feature is quite useful for some cases that people use {{insert into}} to  handle minute data from the input path to a daily table.
> In that case, if the SQL includes {{group by}} or {{join}} operation, we always set the {{reduce number}} at least 200 to avoid the possible OOM in reduce side.
> That will cause this SQL output at least 200 files at the end of the execution. So the daily table will finally contains more than 50000 files. 
> If we could provide the same feature in SparkSQL, it will extremely reduce hdfs operations and spark tasks when we run other sql on this table.
