Hi Till and Tarandeep, I'm also interested in better understanding my knowledge about the concept of a partition.. >From what I know a partition is the portion of data assigned by the job manager to each task manager..right? Then, each partition is divided again at the task manager to maximize the slot usage..is it correct? In every case, there will be a case where at least one partition is smaller than the others...am I wrong? Am I confusing some term..?
