+/**
+ * Represents a partitioning where rows are split across partitions based on 
transforms defined
+ * by `expressions`. `partitionValuesOpt`, if defined, should contain value of 
partition key(s) in
+ * ascending order, after evaluated by the transforms in `expressions`, for 
each input partition.
+ * In addition, its length must be the same as the number of input partitions 
(and thus is a 1-1
+ * mapping), and each row in `partitionValuesOpt` must be unique.
+ *
+ * For example, if `expressions` is `[years(ts_col)]`, then a valid value of 
`partitionValuesOpt` is
+ * `[0, 1, 2]`, which represents 3 input partitions with distinct partition 
values. All rows
+ * in each partition have the same value for column `ts_col` (which is of 
timestamp type), after
+ * being applied by the `years` transform.
+ *
+ * On the other hand, `[0, 0, 1]` is not a valid value for 
`partitionValuesOpt` since `0` is
+ * duplicated twice.
+ *
+ * @param expressions partition expressions for the partitioning.
+ * @param numPartitions the number of partitions
+ * @param partitionValuesOpt if set, the values for the cluster keys of the 
distribution, must be

Review comment:
       I think for built-in data sources with Spark or Hive bucketing, the scan 
node can already produce sorted partitions according to the bucket ID so the 
extra check here won't be necessary.
