/**
+ * Sets the partitioning of the {@link DataStream} so that the output
elements
+ * are distributed evenly to a subset of instances of the next
operation in a round-robin
+ * fashion.
+ *
+ * <p>The subset of downstream operations to which the upstream
operation sends
+ * elements depends on the degree of parallelism of both the upstream
and downstream operation.
+ * For example, if the upstream operation has parallelism 2 and the
downstream operation
+ * has parallelism 4, then one upstream operation would distribute
elements to two
+ * downstream operations while the other upstream operation would
distribute to the other
+ * two downstream operations. If, on the other hand, the downstream
operation has parallelism
+ * 2 while the upstream operation has parallelism 4 then two upstream
operations will
+ * distribute to one downstream operation while the other two upstream
operations will
+ * distribute to the other downstream operations.
+ *
+ * <p>In cases where the different parallelisms are not multiples of
each other one or several
+ * downstream operations will have a differing number of inputs from
upstream operations.

> Add Semi-Rebalance Data Shipping for DataStream

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streaming

> This feature has recently been requested on the ML:
> http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Distribution-of-sinks-among-the-nodes-td4640.html
> The new data shipping pattern would allow to rebalance data only to a subset
> of downstream operations.
> The subset of downstream operations to which the upstream operation would send
> elements depends on the degree of parallelism of both the upstream and
> downstream operation.
> For example, if the upstream operation has parallelism 2 and the downstream
> operation
