/**
 * !!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY !!!
 *
 * Base class for all of the custom low-overhead RDD implementations for Hudi.
 *
 * To keep memory allocation footprint as low as possible, each inheritor of this RDD base class
 *
 *  *   1. Does NOT deserialize from [[InternalRow]] to [[Row]] (therefore only providing access to
 *   Catalyst internal representations (often mutable) of the read row)
 *
 *   2. DOES NOT COPY UNDERLYING ROW OUT OF THE BOX, meaning that
 *
 *      a) access to this RDD is NOT thread-safe
 *
 *      b) iterating over it reference to a _mutable_ underlying instance (of [[InternalRow]]) is
 *      returned, entailing that after [[Iterator#next()]] is invoked on the provided iterator,
 *      previous reference becomes **invalid**. Therefore, you will have to copy underlying mutable
 *      instance of [[InternalRow]] if you plan to access it after [[Iterator#next()]] is invoked (filling
 *      it with the next row's payload)
 *
 *      c) due to item b) above, no operation other than the iteration will produce meaningful
 *      results on it and will likely fail [1]
 * 
 *
 * [1] For example, [[RDD#collect]] method on this implementation would not work correctly, as it's
 * simply using Scala's default [[Iterator#toArray]] method which will simply concat all the references onto
 * the same underlying mutable object into [[Array]]. Instead each individual [[InternalRow]] _has to be copied_,
 * before concatenating into the final output. Please refer to [[HoodieRDDUtils#collect]] for more details.
 *
 * NOTE: It enforces, for ex, that all of the RDDs implement [[compute]] method returning
 *       [[InternalRow]] to avoid superfluous ser/de
