素数与溢出在spark的应用

case object EdgePartition2D extends PartitionStrategy {
    override def getPartition(src: VertexId, dst: VertexId, numParts: PartitionID): PartitionID = {
      val ceilSqrtNumParts: PartitionID = math.ceil(math.sqrt(numParts)).toInt
      val mixingPrime: VertexId = 1125899906842597L
      if (numParts == ceilSqrtNumParts * ceilSqrtNumParts) {
        // Use old method for perfect squared to ensure we get same results
        val col: PartitionID = (math.abs(src * mixingPrime) % ceilSqrtNumParts).toInt
        val row: PartitionID = (math.abs(dst * mixingPrime) % ceilSqrtNumParts).toInt
        (col * ceilSqrtNumParts + row) % numParts

      } else {
        // Otherwise use new method
        val cols = ceilSqrtNumParts
        val rows = (numParts + cols - 1) / cols
        val lastColRows = numParts - rows * (cols - 1)
        val col = (math.abs(src * mixingPrime) % numParts / rows).toInt
        val row = (math.abs(dst * mixingPrime) % (if (col < cols - 1) rows else lastColRows)).toInt
        col * rows + row

      }
    }
  }</span>

首先，乘以大素数，是大素数不含numpartitions这个数的因子，所以不会出现所有模值都是0的情况，避免数据倾斜；

其次，乘以一个数并不会使分布改变，但为乘以大数就可以改变了，为啥，是因为乘以大的数会溢出，然后取absolute value就会得到近似随机的数了。
