Github user sachingoel0101 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/921#issuecomment-123390786 This leads to non-mutually exclusive splits. I tracked down the reason for this: The input data is parallelized differently while performing the splits for every fraction. This leads to an altogether different sequence of random numbers, hence the problem. @tillrohrmann, I use a seed value to initialize, as in the cross-validation PR. Is there any way I can fix the parallelization of data, so running the split for every fraction leads to exactly same sequence of numbers. Persist would write the data to disk, which is something of an overhead isn't it?
