misleading task number of groupByKey

"By default, this uses only 8 parallel tasks to do the grouping." is a big misleading. Please refer to https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/389 

detail is as following code :
<code>
  def defaultPartitioner(rdd: RDD[_], others: RDD[_]*): Partitioner = {
    val bySize = (Seq(rdd) ++ others).sortBy(_.partitions.size).reverse
    for (r <- bySize if r.partitioner.isDefined) {
      return r.partitioner.get
    }
    if (rdd.context.conf.contains("spark.default.parallelism")) {
      new HashPartitioner(rdd.context.defaultParallelism)
    } else {
      new HashPartitioner(bySize.head.partitions.size)
    }
  }
</code>
