[SPARK-5785] [PySpark] narrow dependency for cogroup/join in PySpark Currently, PySpark does not support narrow dependency during cogroup/join when the two RDDs have the partitioner, another unnecessary shuffle stage will come in. The Python implementation of cogroup/join is different than Scala one, it depends on union() and partitionBy(). This patch will try to use PartitionerAwareUnionRDD() in union(), when all the RDDs have the same partitioner. It also fix `reservePartitioner` in all the map() or mapPartitions(), then partitionBy() can skip the unnecessary shuffle stage.
