Hi, It is used jointly with a custom implementation of the `equals` method. In Scala, you can override the `equals` method to change the behaviour of `==` comparison. On example of this would be to compare classes based on their parameter values (i.e. what case classes do). Partitioners aren't case classes however it makes sense to have a value comparison between them (see RDD.subtract for an example) and hence they redefine the equals method. When redefining an equals method, it is good practice to also redefine the hashCode method so that `a == b` iff `a.hashCode == b.hashCode` (e.g. this is useful when your objects will be stored in a hash map). You can learn more about redefining the equals method and hashcodes here https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/scala-cookbook/9781449340292/ch04s16.html
