Thus giving this choice to the end use may not be good idea. Regarding adding operatorId suffix only in case when there are more than one partitions. This is good suggestion, but there is no direct way of getting number of physical instances for the operator in the setup method. We might need to add custom partitioner for doing this. IMO, it is over-complicating the thing for the delta value addition. Can you think of simpler way of knowing no. of physical partitions? OR do you feel that it should be OK without worrying too much about it?
