Thank you Vino. Yes, I went thru that official guide before posting this question. The problem was that I could not see any call to one of those mentioned partitioning methods (partitionCustom, shuffle, rebalance, rescale, or broadcast) in the original readFile function. I'm still trying to look into the code. There should always be a way to do it, but I hope that you / someone can help me with the easiest way - kind of a small customization at the very place that "directory monitoring" hands-over the file splits to "file reader".
