Spark Default Partitioner

 /**
   * Choose a partitioner to use for a cogroup-like operation between a number of RDDs.
   *
   * If any of the RDDs already has a partitioner, choose that one.
   *
   * Otherwise, we use a default HashPartitioner. For the number of partitions, if
   * spark.default.parallelism is set, then we'll use the value from SparkContext
   * defaultParallelism, otherwise we'll use the max number of upstream partitions.
   *
   * Unless spark.default.parallelism is set, the number of partitions will be the
   * same as the number of partitions in the largest upstream RDD, as this should
   * be least likely to cause out-of-memory errors.
   *
   * We use two method parameters (rdd, others) to enforce callers passing at least 1 RDD.
