    > our shuffle operations shouldn't make guarantees about a specific order 
(unless you are explicitly calling sortByKey)
    
    As an aside, this matches the semantics of SQL. The only thing that 
_guarantees_ a certain order in SQL is an explicit call to `ORDER BY`; tables 
are unordered sets of rows; etc. 
    
    I think it makes sense to have these RDD operations follow similar 
semantics.
