Hi experts
I run below code in Spark Shell to access parquet files in Tachyon.
1.First,created a DataFrame by loading a bunch of Parquet Files in Tachyon
val ta3
=sqlContext.parquetFile("tachyon://tachyonserver:19998/apps/tachyon/zhangxf/parquetAdClick-6p-256m");
2.Second, set the "fs.local.block.size" to 256M to make sure that block size of
output files in Tachyon is 256M.
sc.hadoopConfiguration.setLong("fs.local.block.size",268435456)
3.Third,saved above DataFrame into Parquet files that is stored in Tachyon
ta3.saveAsParquetFile("tachyon://tachyonserver:19998/apps/tachyon/zhangxf/parquetAdClick-6p-256m-test");
After above code run successfully, the output parquet files were stored in
Tachyon,but these files have different block size,below is the information of
those files in the path
"tachyon://tachyonserver:19998/apps/tachyon/zhangxf/parquetAdClick-6p-256m-test":

It seems that the API saveAsParquetFile does not distribute/broadcast the
hadoopconfiguration to executors like the other API such as saveAsTextFile.The
configutation "fs.local.block.size" only take effects on Driver.
If I set that configuration before loading parquet files,the problem is gone.
Could anyone help me verify this problem?
Thanks
