@scwf No. A simple example: if there are 5 local limit which produce 1, 2,
1, 1, 1 rows when limit is 10. If you shuffle to 5 partitions, the
distributions for each local limit look like:
1: (1, 0, 0, 0, 0)
2: (1, 1, 0, 0, 0)
3: (1, 0, 0, 0, 0)
4: (1, 0, 0, 0, 0)
5: (1, 0, 0, 0, 0)
So the final rows in 5 partitions are (5, 1, 0, 0, 0) which is not
uniformly distributed.
You don't know how many rows each local limit can get. So how do you know
how many partitions and how many rows to retrieve for each partitions?
