每天学点Spark源码--coalesce

/**  此段为贴源码
   * Return a new RDD that is reduced into `numPartitions` partitions.
   *
   * This results in a narrow dependency, e.g. if you go from 1000 partitions
   * to 100 partitions, there will not be a shuffle, instead each of the 100
   * new partitions will claim 10 of the current partitions.
   *
   * However, if you're doing a drastic coalesce, e.g. to numPartitions = 1,
   * this may result in your computation taking place on fewer nodes than
   * you like (e.g. one node in the case of numPartitions = 1). To avoid this,
   * you can pass shuffle = true. This will add a shuffle step, but means the
   * current upstream partitions will be executed in parallel (per whatever
   * the current partitioning is).
   *
   * Note: With shuffle = true, you can actually coalesce to a larger number
   * of partitions. This is useful if you have a small number of partitions,
   * say 100, potentially with a few partitions being abnormally large. Calling
   * coalesce(1000, shuffle = true) will result in 1000 partitions with the
   * data distributed using a hash partitioner.

shuffle 洗牌 ; coalesce 合并 ;  drastic 剧烈的 ; narrow dependency 窄依赖 ;

用法：RDD N个分区 --> M个分区

1、N>M 但差距不大，shuffle不用设置(默认false)，类似于repartition方法

               但差距很大比如M=1，如果不设置shuffle，可能计算只在一个Stage中进行，性能不高，开了shuffle就进行了并行计算

2、N<M  N中分布不均，某几个分区特别大，开shuffle(ture)，重新按哈希均匀分区到M
