@nchammas to be clear, the question isn't about ordering really. The issue
is that result of the same RDD in this example changes when it is reevaluated.
It's more like having a ResultSet change under you while iterating. @mateiz
explained that this is working as intended. I think some straightforward uses
of `zipWithIndex` may surprise people then. For example I add an index to each
datum, do some computation, and later go back to look up a datum by index on
the very same RDD. I am not likely to get back the same datum -- unless it has
been persisted. Something to keep in mind to see if it actually bites people
regularly.
