Probabilistic diff allows us to sample partitions randomly while running diff tests. It takes new config parameter
partition_sampling_probability
that ranges between (0-1) and samples partitions based on this probability. The default value for this config property is 1 which means that all the partitions will be diffed. The partitions that are selected are also based on the JobId, for a given sampling probability and JobId we always diff on same partitions.This helps in reproducing any issues that one might run into. Probabilistic diff allows us to run diff jobs on large clusters by sampling some partitions.
