> Using partitioners to get narrow dependencies can save tons of time on a shuffle.  However, after saving an RDD to hdfs, and then reloading it, all partitioner information is lost.  This means that you can never get a narrow dependency when loading data from hadoop.
> I think we could get around this by:
> 1) having a modified version of hadoop rdd that kept track of original part file (or maybe just prevent splits altogether ...)
> 2) add a "assumePartition(partitioner:Partitioner, verify: Boolean)" function to RDD.  It would create a new RDD, which had the exact same data but just pretended that the RDD had the given partitioner applied to it.  And if verify=true, it could add a mapPartitionsWithIndex to check that each record was in the right partition.
