Makes sense / that's why I didn't want to dive too deep. Just enough to get
a feel for what it would look like.
> Support Even Distribution Of Tuples To A Non Power Of 2 Number Of Partitions

> Key: APEXCORE-332
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-332
> Project: Apache Apex Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Timothy Farkas
> Assignee: Ilya Ganelin
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently partitions masks must be defined as a binary mask. As a result the
> number of partitions must be a power of 2, otherwise the distribution of
> tuples will be uneven. If we support the modulus operation instead of a
> binary mask, we could support an even distribution of tuples to a non-power
> of 2 number of partitions.
