>                 Key: SPARK-1701
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1701
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement

> Throughout the documentation and code "slice" and "partition" are used interchangeably. (Or so it seems to me.) It would avoid some confusion for new users to settle on one name. I think "partition" is winning, since that is the name of the class representing the concept.
> This should not be much more complicated to do than a search & replace. I can take a stab at it, if you agree.
