Well, the API is pretty much the same in both variants. The only difference
is that more operations may follow a partition operator and that partition
results in a partition operator and not a partitioned data set.
Anyway, as I said, if this solution is considered to be better, go for it...
Any comments on the suggested API change of rebalance() and
partitionByHash()?
