Koalas doesn't guarantee the row ordering, so
head
could return some rows from distributed partitions and the result is not deterministic, which might confuse users. (See #411, #1064, or #1219)If
compute.ordered_head
is set to True, Koalas performs natural ordering beforehand, but it will cause a performance overhead.I don't think we should enable it by default due to the overhead, but it will help users debug.
