I think we have a version of mapPartitions that allows you to tell
Spark the partitioning is preserved:

https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/rdd/RDD.scala#L639

We could also add a map function that does same. Or you can just write
your map using an iterator.
