You are correct about the potential overhead of coalescing partitions when all of them have data.
The primary issue seems to be the excessive number of HMS calls to retrieve partition information, even when only a subset of partitions is being written. Spark appears to be fetching metadata for all partitions, even when only a subset is relevant. This could be due to limitations in the current implementation of 3.5.n or optimizations that haven't been fully implemented. Consider exploring options to optimize partition listing within Spark itself. This might involve caching partition information, using heuristics to avoid unnecessary calls to HMS, or leveraging more efficient data structures to store and retrieve partition metadata. What is your Hive metastore built on? If possible, optimize the Hive Metastore queries to reduce the time taken to retrieve partition information. This might involve indexing partitions, using caching mechanisms, or improving query execution plans. Ensure that there are no network bottlenecks between the Spark application and the Hive Metastore. Network latency and bandwidth limitations can significantly impact performance.Mich Talebzadeh, Finally, is there an overriding reason to use 3.5.n? Is the past I had issues with 3.5 so with Hive so I went back using 3.4 HTH Architect | Data Science | Financial Crime | GDPR & Compliance Specialist PhD <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Philosophy> Imperial College London <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_College_London> London, United Kingdom view my Linkedin profile <https://www.linkedin.com/in/mich-talebzadeh-ph-d-5205b2/> https://en.everybodywiki.com/Mich_Talebzadeh *Disclaimer:* The information provided is correct to the best of my knowledge but of course cannot be guaranteed .
