Hi,
I've implemented a Synapse mapping data flow, called by a pipeline, to copy source parquet files (NYC green taxi data) into a hierarchical folders, partitioning for year, month and date keys:
At the leaf level of these hierarchical folders I've noticed that some partitions were created, but is it possible to change the dimension or the number of these partitions maintaning their related distribution in the year-->month-->date folders? Thanks

2023-11-26T08:47:14.37+00:00 Hi, I've already partitioned the parquet data in an hierarchical structure as year-->month-->date, but I've noticed that in each leaf folder more files are created and I'm asking it is possible to change the dimension or the number of these partitions maintaning their related distribution in the year-->month-->date folders.

There are 3 partitions for an unique date, with the same dimension

2023-11-27T08:30:45.3033333+00:00 Hey, looks like these files are created in different runs. They don't seem to be created at the same time in a single run (looking at the timestamp). So probably it works the way you want by creating one file at a time, but with different name everytime. Is your requirement to have one partition file with a specific name ?
If name of the file being generated is a concern here, you can go to settings tab in sink and give file name option as 'output to single file' which will prompt you to 'set single partition'. Once done, you can give a name to the partition file as you wish. This will keep over writing the same file everytime you run your pipeline.
But if your question is different from what I try to explain please let me know.
Thanks.
