Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-8893:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Apache Spark)
> Require positive partition counts in RDD.repartition
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-8893
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8893
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Daniel Darabos
> Priority: Trivial
>
> What does {{sc.parallelize(1 to 3).repartition(p).collect}} return? I would
> expect {{Array(1, 2, 3)}} regardless of {{p}}. But if {{p}} < 1, it returns
> {{Array()}}. I think instead it should throw an {{IllegalArgumentException}}.
> I think the case is pretty clear for {{p}} < 0. But the behavior for {{p}} =
> 0 is also error prone. In fact that's how I found this strange behavior. I
> used {{rdd.repartition(a/b)}} with positive {{a}} and {{b}}, but {{a/b}} was
> rounded down to zero and the results surprised me. I'd prefer an exception
> instead of unexpected (corrupt) results.
> I'm happy to send a pull request for this.
