Spark中repartition和partitionBy的区别

repartition 和 partitionBy 都是对数据进行重新分区，默认都是使用 HashPartitioner，区别在于partitionBy 只能用于 PairRDD，但是当它们同时都用于 PairRDD时，结果却不一样：

 不难发现，其实 partitionBy 的结果才是我们所预期的，我们打开 repartition 的源码进行查看：

/**
   * Return a new RDD that has exactly numPartitions partitions.
   *
   * Can increase or decrease the level of parallelism in this RDD. Internally, this uses
   * a shuffle to redistribute data.
   *
   * If you are decreasing the number of partitions in this RDD, consider using `coalesce`,
   * which can avoid performing a shuffle.
   *
   * TODO Fix the Shuffle+Repartition data loss issue described in SPARK-23207.
   */
  def repartition(numPartitions: Int)(implicit ord: Ordering[T] = null): RDD[T] = withScope {
    coalesce(numPartitions, shuffle = true)
  }

  /**
   * Return a new RDD that is reduced into `numPartitions` partitions.
   *
   * This results in a narrow dependency, e.g. if you go from 1000 partitions
   * to 100 partitions, there will not be a shuffle, instead each of the 100
   * new partitions will claim 10 of the current partitions. If a larger number
   * of partitions is requested, it will stay at the current number of partitions.
   *
   * However, if you're doing a drastic coalesce, e.g. to numPartitions = 1,
   * this may result in your computation taking place on fewer nodes than
   * you like (e.g. one node in the case of numPartitions = 1). To avoid this,
   * you can pass shuffle = true. This will add a shuffle step, but means the
   * current upstream partitions will be executed in parallel (per whatever
   * the current partitioning is).
   *
   * @note With shuffle = true, you can actually coalesce to a larger number
   * of partitions. This is useful if you have a small number of partitions,
   * say 100, potentially with a few partitions being abnormally large. Calling
   * coalesce(1000, shuffle = true) will result in 1000 partitions with the
   * data distributed using a hash partitioner. The optional partition coalescer
   * passed in must be serializable.
   */
  def coalesce(numPartitions: Int, shuffle: Boolean = false,
               partitionCoalescer: Option[PartitionCoalescer] = Option.empty)
              (implicit ord: Ordering[T] = null)
      : RDD[T] = withScope {
    require(numPartitions > 0, s"Number of partitions ($numPartitions) must be positive.")
    if (shuffle) {
      /** Distributes elements evenly across output partitions, starting from a random partition. */
      val distributePartition = (index: Int, items: Iterator[T]) => {
        var position = new Random(hashing.byteswap32(index)).nextInt(numPartitions)
        items.map { t =>
          // Note that the hash code of the key will just be the key itself. The HashPartitioner
          // will mod it with the number of total partitions.
          position = position + 1
          (position, t)
        }
      } : Iterator[(Int, T)]

      // include a shuffle step so that our upstream tasks are still distributed
      new CoalescedRDD(
        new ShuffledRDD[Int, T, T](mapPartitionsWithIndex(distributePartition),
        new HashPartitioner(numPartitions)),
        numPartitions,
        partitionCoalescer).values
    } else {
      new CoalescedRDD(this, numPartitions, partitionCoalescer)
    }
  }

即使是RairRDD也不会使用自己的key，repartition 其实使用了一个随机生成的数来当做 Key，而不是使用原来的 Key！！
