RDD.repartition(numPartitions)[source]¶ Return a new RDD that has exactly numPartitions partitions.
Can increase or decrease the level of parallelism in this RDD. Internally, this uses a shuffle to redistribute data. If you are decreasing the number of partitions in this RDD, consider using coalesce, which can avoid performing a shuffle.
Examples
>>> rdd = sc.parallelize([1,2,3,4,5,6,7], 4) >>> sorted(rdd.glom().collect()) [[1], [2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7]] >>> len(rdd.repartition(2).glom().collect()) 2 >>> len(rdd.repartition(10).glom().collect()) 10
