Managed Service for Apache Spark: Shuffle Partition Config Type Change
Google Cloud has updated the Managed Service for Apache Spark, formerly Dataproc on Compute Engine, by changing the configuration type for Spark shuffle partitions from integer to string for versions 2.2.82+ and 2.3.30+. This change requires users programmatically setting this configuration to update their code to use string literals for compatibility. Users setting the configuration via command-line, properties files, or Spark SQL commands are unaffected. This adjustment impacts specific subminor cluster image versions and aims to ensure consistent configuration handling.
