Hi , I think there is no difference between JobVertex(A) and JobVertex(B). Because the JobVertex(C) is not shown in the right graph, it may mislead you.There should be another intermediate result partition between JobVertex(B) and JobVertex(C) for each parallelism, and that is the same case with JobVertex(A).
