what's the way to access the last element from another partition

In some given partition, it seems difficult to access the last element in another partition, but in my application I need do as that.Exactly how to do it ? 
Just by repartition /shuffle  the rdd into one partition and get the specific "last" element ? Will this will change the previous order among the elements, and will it also not work ?
Thanks very much in advance!

 Only beginning and ending part of data. The rest in the partition can
be compared without shuffle.


Would you help write a few  pseudo-code about it...It seems that there is not shuffle related  API , or repartition ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
