Google Cloud Storage requires storage.objects.create permission when reading from pyspark

Question

I'm trying to read pyspark DataFrame from Google Cloud Storage, but I keep getting an error that the service account has no storage.objects.create permissions. The account does not have WRITER permissions, but it's just reading parquet files:

spark_session.read.parquet(input_path)

我们发现了问题。这是由于 GCS 连接器中的隐式自动修复功能。我们通过设置fs.gs.implicit.dir.repair.enable为 来禁用此行为false。
