Github user mateiz commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/550#issuecomment-41483260 I'd rather not add the implicit conversion from int to partitioner, it will be very hard to discover on its own. Instead maybe we can just leave this API as is. It's strange but there's a good reason for it.
