+/**
+ * An interface to represent data distribution requirement, which
specifies how the records should
+ * be distributed among the {@link ReadTask}s that are returned by
+ * {@link DataSourceV2Reader#createReadTasks()}. Note that this interface
has nothing to do with
+ * the data ordering inside one partition(the output records of a single
{@link ReadTask}).
+ *
+ * The instance of this interface is created and provided by Spark, then
consumed by
+ * {@link Partitioning#satisfy(Distribution)}. This means users don't need
to implement
