Parquet file size
Hi,
I'm reading a large tsv file, and creating parquet files using sparksql:
insert overwrite
table tbl partition(year, month, day)....
Select .... from tbl_tsv;
This works nicely, but generates small parquet files (15MB).
I wanted to generate larger files, any idea how to address this?
Thanks,
Younes Naguib

Re: Parquet file size
Posted by Cheng Lian <li...@gmail.com>.
How many tasks are there in the write job? Since each task may write one
file for each partition, you may end up with taskNum * 31 files.
Increasing SPLIT_MINSIZE does help reducing task number. Another way to
address this issue is to use DataFrame.coalesce(n) to shrink task number
to n explicitly.

Hi,
In our case, we're using the org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat.SPLIT_MINSIZE to increase the size of the RDD partitions when loading text files, so it would generate larger parquet files. We just set it in the Hadoop conf of the SparkContext. You need to be careful though about setting it to a large value, as you might encounter issues related to this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6235
For our jobs, we're setting the split size to 512MB which generates between 110-200MB parquet files using the default compression. We're using Spark-1.3.1, btw, and we also have the same partitioning of year/month/day for our parquet files.

The reason why so many small files are generated should probably be the fact that you are inserting into a partitioned table with three partition columns.
If you want a large Parquet files, you may try to either avoid using partitioned table, or using less partition columns (e.g., only year, without month and day).

So you want to dump all data into a single large Parquet file?

Well, I only have data for 2015-08. So, in the end, only 31 partitions....
What I'm looking for, is some reasonably sized partitions.
In any case, just the idea of controlling the output parquet files size or number would be nice.

The reason why so many small files are generated should probably be the fact that you are inserting into a partitioned table with three partition columns.
If you want a large Parquet files, you may try to either avoid using partitioned table, or using less partition columns (e.g., only year, without month and day).
