What is the difference between forEachAsync vs forEachPartitionAsync?

Hi all,

What is the difference between forEachAsync vs forEachPartitionAsync? I
couldn't find any comments from the Javadoc. If I were to guess here is
what I would say but please correct me if I am wrong.

forEachAsync just iterate through values from all partitions one by one in
an Async Manner

forEachPartitionAsync: Fan out each partition and run the lambda for each
partition in parallel across different workers. The lambda here will
Iterate through values from that partition one by one in Async manner

Is this right? or am I completely wrong?

Thanks!

wait rdd operations should infact execute in parallel right? so if I call
rdd.forEachAsync that should execute in parallel isn't it? I guess I am a
little confused what the difference really is between forEachAsync vs
forEachPartitionAsync? besides passing in Tuple vs  Iterator of Tuples to
the lambda respectively.
