Martin, You can use `.partitionCustom` and provide a partitioner if you want to control explicitly how elements are distributed to downstream tasks.

We are reading a file-input with parallelism 1 and want to rescale to a higher parallelism, such that the ordering of the data is the same every time. I have tried using rebalance, rescale but it seems to randomly distribute data between partitions. We don't need something optimized, we just need the same distribution for every run. Is this possible? Some code: val env: StreamExecutionEnvironment = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment env.setStreamTimeCharacteristic(TimeCharacteristic.EventTime) env.setParallelism(parallelism) val rawStream: DataStream[String] = env.readTextFile(s3Path).setParallelism(1) rawStream.rescale ... best regards -- Martin Frank Hansen
