A common problem that users encounter with Spark 1.6.0 is that writing to a partitioned parquet table OOMs. The root cause is that parquet allocates a significant amount of memory that is not accounted for by our own mechanisms. As a workaround, we can ensure that only a single file is open per task unless the user explicitly asks for more.
