Summary
The previous implementation of PartitionsShuffleKind::Mod broke cache affinity even when cluster membership remained unchanged. It first sorted partitions by hash % num_executors, then redistributed them evenly by partition count. This meant that when table data changed (segments added or removed), the redistribution cut points would shift, causing the same segment to be assigned to different executors.
For example, with 7 segments (indices 0-6) and 2 executors, the sorted partitions would be split as indices 0,1,2 to executor0 and indices 3,4,5,6 to executor1. When a new segment is added (now 8 segments), the split becomes indices 0,1,2,3 to executor0 and indices 4,5,6,7 to executor1, moving the segment originally at index 3 from executor1 to executor0 and invalidating its cache.
This fix removes the redundant redistribution step and directly assigns partitions to executors based on hash % num_executors. Now the same partition always goes to the same executor as long as cluster membership is unchanged, regardless of other partitions being added or removed.
