 Adds a temporary random key to each element in a collection, reshuffles
 these keys, and removes the temporary key. This redistributes the
 elements between workers and returns a collection equivalent to its
 input collection.  This is most useful for adjusting paralellism or
 preventing coupled failures.

## Examples
See [BEAM-7391](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-7391) for updates.
