---------------------------------------------
             Summary: Insert into select and CTAS launches fewer tasks(limited to max nodes) even when target table is of no_sort
                 Key: CARBONDATA-4042
                 URL: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CARBONDATA-4042             Project: CarbonData
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: data-load, spark-integration
            Reporter: Venugopal Reddy K
*Issue:*
At present, When we do insert into table select from or create table as select from, we lauch one single task per node. Whereas when we do a simple select * from table query, tasks launched are equal to number of carbondata files(CARBON_TASK_DISTRIBUTION default is CARBON_TASK_DISTRIBUTION_BLOCK). 
Thus, slows down the load performance of insert into select and ctas cases.

*Suggestion:*
Lauch the same number of tasks as in select query for insert into select and ctas cases when the target table is of no-sort.
