repartitionByRange: Repartition by range

Description

The following options for repartition by range are possible:

• 1. Return a new SparkDataFrame range partitioned by the given columns into numPartitions.

• 2. Return a new SparkDataFrame range partitioned by the given column(s), using spark.sql.shuffle.partitions as number of partitions.

Usage

repartitionByRange(x, ...)
# S4 method for SparkDataFrame
repartitionByRange(x, numPartitions = NULL, col = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

a SparkDataFrame.

...

additional column(s) to be used in the range partitioning.

numPartitions

the number of partitions to use.

col

the column by which the range partitioning will be performed.
