distribute is not type inferrable

[mohdibntarek]

The following function doesn't infer properly:

using DistributedArrays
addprocs(1)
@code_warntype DistributedArrays.distribute(rand(10), procs = [1,2])

I'd think that it's been that assumption here that type stability doesn't really matter compared to the overhead from sending data to other processes. Do you have a use case where you think it would matter?

[mohdibntarek]

probably won't matter in my case, closing this issue.
