The configuration spark.sql.shuffle.partitions determines the number of partitions created after a shuffle operation (e.g., joins, aggregations). The default value of 200 means that Spark will split shuffled data into 200 partitions to enable parallel processing.

A
By default, all DataFrames in Spark will be spit to perfectly fill the memory of 200 executors.
B

C
By default, Spark will only read the first 200 partitions of DataFrames to improve speed.
D
By default, all DataFrames in Spark, including existing DataFrames, will be split into 200 unique segments for parallelization.
