Github user fhueske commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1838#issuecomment-203307525 I'm currently on vacation. Will have a closer look when I'm back in about a week.

The optimizer is able to get this from the GlobalProperties to decide whether the partitionings are valid and equivalent.
