             Summary: Make behavior of keeping File Writers open configurable
                 Key: HUDI-5385
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-5385
             Project: Apache Hudi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: spark
    Affects Versions: 0.121
            Reporter: Alexey Kudinkin
             Fix For: 0.13.0


Currently, when writing in Spark we will be keeping the File Writers for individual partitions open as long as we're processing the batch which entails that all of the data written out will be kept in memory (at least the last row-group in case of Parquet writers) until batch is fully processed and all of the writers are closed.

While this allows us to better control how many files are created in every partition (we keep the writer open and hence we don't need to create a new file when a new record comes in), this brings a penalty of keeping all of the data in memory potentially leading to OOMs, longer GC cycles, etc
