SPRKPY1071

pyspark.rdd.RDD.getNumPartitions

Message: The function pyspark.rdd.RDD.getNumPartitions is not required in Snowpark. So, you should remove all references.

Category: Warning

Description

This issue appears when the tool finds the use of the pyspark.rdd.RDD.getNumPartitions function. Snowflake uses micro-partitioning mechanism, so the use of this function is not required.

Scenario

Input

The getNumPartitions returns the quantity of partitions on a RDD.

df = spark.createDataFrame([('2015-04-08',), ('5',), [Row(a=1, b="b")]], ['dt', 'num', 'row'])

print(df.getNumPartitions())

Output

The tool adds this EWI to let you know that getNumPartitions is not required.

df = spark.createDataFrame([('2015-04-08',), ('5',), [Row(a=1, b="b")]], ['dt', 'num', 'row'])
#EWI: SPRKPY1071 => The getNumPartitions are not required in Snowpark. So, you should remove all references.

print(df.getNumPartitions())

Recommended fix

Remove all uses of this function.

df = spark.createDataFrame([('2015-04-08',), ('5',), [Row(a=1, b="b")]], ['dt', 'num', 'row'])
