Github user ChengXiangLi commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1255#issuecomment-148290945 Thanks for the review in advance, @fhueske . Something i want to mention here is that, the range partitioner implementation in this PR follow the existed partitioner design pattern, which in my personal view, is not well designed by the principle of object-oriented programing, the parameters of different partitioners are passed through Flink all together, and all partitioners logic mixed in OutputEmitter, i'm not very satisfied with the implementation in this PR actually. I think we need refactor the partitioner as a followup work, but this should not block this PR. Range partitioner is a little different from other partitioners, with it enabled, we could have a better overview about how to design the abstraction of partitioner. The refactor should require a design doc and fully discussed in community, what do you think about this?
