SPARK-1770: Load balance elements when repartitioning.
This patch adds better balancing when performing a repartition of an RDD. Previously the elements in the RDD were hash partitioned, meaning if the RDD was skewed certain partitions would end up being very large. This commit adds load balancing of elements across the repartitioned RDD splits. The load balancing is not perfect: a given output partition can have up to N more elements than the average if there are N input partitions. However, some randomization is used to minimize the probabiliy that this happens. Author: Patrick Wendell <pwendell@gmail.com> Closes #727 from pwendell/load-balance and squashes the following commits: f9da752 [Patrick Wendell] Response to Matei's feedback acfa46a [Patrick Wendell] SPARK-1770: Load balance elements when repartitioning.
