Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-1237: ------------------------------------- I'll implement that as a special global property that has the partitioner attached. > Add custom partitioners for shuffle steps > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-1237 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1237 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Till Rohrmann > Assignee: Stephan Ewen > > It would be helpful to be able to specify a custom partitioner for shuffle > steps. This would users allow to control how their data is distributed across > the cluster. Especially in situations where the number of data records is > equal to the number of slots it might be a possibility to avoid skewed data > distributions due to the default hashing function. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
