Description
When the spark-runner is used along with the configuration spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled=true the SourceRDD does not detect this. It then falls back to the value calculated in this description:
// when running on YARN/SparkDeploy it's the result of max(totalCores, 2).
// when running on Mesos it's 8.
// when running local it's the total number of cores (local = 1, local[N] = N,
// local[*] = estimation of the machine's cores).
// ** the configuration "spark.default.parallelism" takes precedence over all of the above **
So in most cases this default is quite small. This is an issue when using a very large input file as it will only get split in half.
I believe that when Dynamic Allocation is enable the SourceRDD should use the DEFAULT_BUNDLE_SIZE and possibly expose a SparkPipelineOptions that allows you to change this DEFAULT_BUNDLE_SIZE.
