title: What is the difference between SPARK Partitions and Worker Cores?
body: <p>I used the <code>Standalone Spark Cluster</code> to process several files. When I executed the Driver, the data was processed on each worker using it's cores.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I've read about <code>Partitions</code>, but I didn't get it if it's different than Worker Cores or not.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a difference between setting <code>cores number</code> and <code>partition numbers</code>?</p>
