Let me explain the reason for introducing these changes: Broadcast was used to represent two specific modes for reading and writing. Writing required that a single subpartition contains all data, and reading corresponded to consuming that single subpartition. In my opinion, broadcasting requires that the downstream consumes all produced data. The optimization is that the upstream could write all data to a single subpartition, and the downstream could consume it. These are different concepts. So, in this PR, I introduced `singleSubpartitionContainsAllData` to replace the original optimization concept. The `broadcast` concept will change to mean the downstream consumes all produced data. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
