* When **Auto compact** is enabled, after an individual write, transformation checks if files can further be compacted, and runs a quick OPTIMIZE job (with 128 MB file sizes instead of 1GB) to further compact files for partitions that have the most number of small files. Auto compaction helps in coalescing a large number of small files into a smaller number of large files. Auto compaction only kicks in when there are at least 50 files. Once a compaction operation is performed, it creates a new version of the table, and writes a new file containing the data of several previous files in a compact compressed form.
