Github user fhueske commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1255#issuecomment-162935419 Thanks for the fast update! Your last commit seems to include changes that have already been merged to the master branch. Can you revert it and rebase the second last commit on the current master? I also got feedback from @StephanEwen about the use of the IntDistribution. He shares your opinion, that it is not really needed and just incurs additional overhead due to the second binary search. He proposes to use a `PARTITION_CUSTOM` strategy instead of a `PARTITION_RANGE` strategy with a `Partitioner` that simply returns the partition id. You basically can replace `partChannel.setShipStrategy(ShipStrategyType.PARTITION_RANGE, keys, sortDirection, null, DataExchangeMode.PIPELINED);` by `partChannel.setShipStrategy(ShipStrategyType.PARTITION_CUSTOM, keys, new IdPartitioner(), DataExchangeMode.PIPELINED);` and provide an implementation for IdPartitioner. This way, we have still support for generic DataDistribution range partitioning (although not being used ATM) and a more efficient automatic range partitioning. On last very small remark. Could you please set the parallelism also for the `OptimizerNodes` (`sipNode`, `sicNode`, etc.)? Otherwise, the JSON output will have some `"parallelism": "default"` values. I think we're almost there. :-) Thanks a lot, Fabian
