    Ted, are you ready to help with a concrete alternative? This is a very
    small issue compared to even the patch, lets build a list of alternatives
    and vote. But lets get it done
    
    My additional variants
    
    minSplits,...
    minPar, exactPar, autoPar (consitent with scala's collection.par())
    
    To give something to vote down for Ted
    >=|| :=||
    :||=
    
    Not ok with me
    
    minParts
    minParallelism
    minPartitions
    repartition
    reshuffle
    and other do-something kind
    
    Your variants--?

> (1) add minSplit parameter pass-thru to drmFromHDFS to be able to explicitly 
> increase parallelism. 
> (2) add parrallelism readjustment parameter to a checkpoint() call. This 
> implies shuffle-less coalesce() translation to the data set before it is 
> requested to be cached (if specified).
> Going forward, we probably should try and figure how we can automate it,  at 
> least a little bit. For example, the simplest automatic adjustment might 
> include re-adjust parallelims on load to simply fit cluster size (95% or 180% 
> of cluster size, for example), with some rule-of-thumb safeguards here, e.g. 
> we cannot exceed a factor of say 8 (or whatever we configure) in splitting 
> each original hdfs split. We should be able to get a reasonable parallelism 
> performance out of the box on simple heuristics like that.
