Matthew Farrellee commented on SPARK-1701: ------------------------------------------ slice vs partition has also come up on stackoverflow and just recently the user list. i'm going to write up a patch for the programming-guide to at least clarify the situation. i intend my pr to partially address this jira. > Inconsistent naming: "slice" or "partition" > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-1701 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1701 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation, Spark Core > Reporter: Daniel Darabos > Priority: Minor > Labels: starter > > Throughout the documentation and code "slice" and "partition" are used > interchangeably. (Or so it seems to me.) It would avoid some confusion for > new users to settle on one name. I think "partition" is winning, since that > is the name of the class representing the concept. > This should not be much more complicated to do than a search & replace. I can > take a stab at it, if you agree. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
