Review comment:
       Yeah `sample` is the last operation I feel like is a must-have for GA. 
I've just been thinking about it so far. I'd like to discuss some of the 
hangups in-person. A preview:
   - Making `frac` work is trivial since you can just do `frac` on each 
partition.
   - I'm not sure about the right way to make `n` work though (which we should 
figure out, since it's the most natural alternative to head).
   - I think we can support `weights` by doing a little extra work to adjust 
the weights within each partition.
