Description

Related to astronomy-commons/lsdb#1421, during DP2, a partitioning scheme was manually decided based on file sizes from the parquet footers of the original output partitions. The pipeline should be able to decide this partitioning, ideally through the improved hats-import memory size partitioning, but as a fall back, using the same method as dp2 with an additional import run.

Research direction

Start by reading astronomy-commons/lsdb#1421 and the improved hats-import memory-size partitioning described in the issue. Compare that approach with the DP2 parquet-footer method; done means the pipeline can choose nesting-stage partitions automatically, with the stated fallback available through an additional import run.
