Hello,

In the context of a machine learning algorithm, I need to be able to
randomly distribute the elements of a large RDD across partitions (i.e.,
essentially assign each element to a random partition). How could I achieve
this? I have tried to call repartition() with the current number of
partitions - but it seems to me that this moves only some of the elements,
and in a deterministic way.

I know this will be an expensive operation but I only need to perform it
every once in a while.

Thanks a lot!
