Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the Scala definition and usages of type ByteSize in the Spark partition-sizing code, then assess the impact of replacing Long or introducing a more precise type. Done means the required precision and representation are agreed, implemented, and covered by tests.

Description

bug

Background

type ByteSize is defined as Long. That might be rather imprecise causing too much difference in case of large number counts.

Feature

Make type ByteSize some number with decimal points (fixed count?) or maybe introduce another type with this precision.
