If you have 100 partitions for example, you're going to create a list of length 100 at the top and then check for all 100 partitions whether they're in that list, getting 10,000 operations. Can't you just check that all the indices in partitions are between 0 and rdd.partitions.size? I don't think RDDs can have non-contiguous partition numbers, though there might have been some stuff in the past with partition pruning that I may be misremembering.
