We're attempting to run the snowflake query with Pyspark, and we've set numPartitions to 10 and submitted a spark query. However, when I checked the Snowflake History tab. As far as I can tell, only one query is being executed rather than ten.

Is the numPartitions clause supported by snowflake -Spark? The sample code we used to execute is shown below.

```auto
sfOptions = dict()
sfOptions["url"] ="jdbc:snowflake:// **************.privatelink.snowflakecomputing.com"
sfOptions["user"] ="**01d"
sfOptions["private_key_file"] = key_file
sfOptions["private_key_file_pwd"] = key_passphrase
sfOptions["db"] ="**_DB"
sfOptions["warehouse"] =" **** _WHS"
sfOptions["schema"] ="***_SHR"
sfOptions["role"] ="**_ROLE"
sfOptions["numPartitions"]="10"
sfOptions["partitionColumn"] = "***_TRANS_ID"
sfOptions["lowerBound"] = lowerbound
sfOptions["upperBound"] = upperbound

print(sfOptions)

df = spark.read.format('jdbc') \
    .options(**sfOptions) \
    .option("query", "select * from ***_shr.SPRK_TST as f") \
    .load()

```

How is this related to Elasticsearch or the Elastic Stack?

Welcome to our community! 😃

As Christian mentions, this isn't related to the Elastic Stack and we cannot help sorry. You will need to find a snowflake community and ask there.
