spark repartition to one output file per customer












1















Assume I have a dataframe like:



client_id,report_date,date,value_1,value_2
1,2019-01-01,2019-01-01,1,2
1,2019-01-01,2019-01-02,3,4
1,2019-01-01,2019-01-03,5,6
2,2019-01-01,2019-01-01,1,2
2,2019-01-01,2019-01-02,3,4
2,2019-01-01,2019-01-03,5,6


My desired output structure would be a CSV or JSON with:



results/
client_id=1/
report_date=2019-01-01
<<somename>>.csv
client_id=2/
report_date=2019-01-01
<<somename>>.csv


To achieve this I use



df.repartition(2, "customer_id", "report_date")
.sortWithinPartitions("date", "value1")
.write.partitionBy("customer_id", "report_date")
.csv(...)


However, instead of the desired single file per client and report date (partition) I end up with two.



Spark SQL - Difference between df.repartition and DataFrameWriter partitionBy? explains why.
However, using a repartition(1) would work. But in case the number of customer_id is large could run into OOM. Is there still a way to achieve the desired result? The file per client_id is small.

  • So, what is the question? Customer_id is large but then you state is small...

  • The data per customer is mall but there are many customers. I want to end up with one single file per customer. My initial strategy was to use spark partitions. However they would only work if repartition 1 is executed. But this will not work as there are too many customers. So is there a different option?

  • But in your example that is what I see. What if there are 2 dates for the same customer?

  • That is correct. But differentiate report_date and date. Partitioning os happending per customer_id and 'report_date' i.e. there should be a file per customer_id and report_date.

  • But that's what I see happening, I just tried it and got that as you state. So, what to think? On a small sample.
