Hello,  
This code is working fine for me  
ES : 5.2  
Spark: 1.6  
es-hadoop: elasticsearch-spark-13\_2.10...

......  
......  
val sc = new SparkContext(sparkConf)  
val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext(sc)  
val df = sqlContext.sql(sqlMov)  
[//df.show](https://df.show)(50)  
EsSparkSQL.saveToEs(df, conf.getString("s-app.persistenciaES"))

Now i want to distribute the data correctly on each shards...  
How can i specify the "routing" option in my Spark code (with Scala) like this example:

curl -XPOST '[http://localhost:9200/store/order?routing=user123](http://localhost:9200/store/order?routing=user123)'

Please help! thanks.

@Eduardo_Curonisy You want the [es.mapping.routing](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/configuration.html#cfg-mapping) property.
