> Seems the current partitionKeyComparator which use hashcode of String as key comparator break some sorting contracts. 
> Also I tested using data type Int as key, this is OK to pass the test, since hashcode of Int is its self. So I think potentially partitionDiff + hashcode of String may break the sorting contracts.
