Description

From a user:

I was trying to get a custom partition resolver example working. The way geode-examples works is by configuring the servers via gfsh so I used:

create region --name=example-region --type=PARTITION --partition-resolver=org.apache.geode.examples.functions.EvenOddPartitionResolver --redundant-copies=0

Alas, this didn't work. [Jared: note - this was likely due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3460] I found a way to get it to work in Java:

 PartitionAttributesFactory partitionAttributesFactory = new PartitionAttributesFactory();
    partitionAttributesFactory
        .addFixedPartitionAttributes(FixedPartitionAttributes.createFixedPartition("ODD", 1));
    partitionAttributesFactory
        .addFixedPartitionAttributes(FixedPartitionAttributes.createFixedPartition("EVEN", 1));
    partitionAttributesFactory.setPartitionResolver(new EvenOddPartitionResolver());
    partitionAttributesFactory.setRedundantCopies(1);

It appears that it was necessary to create the fixed partitions for the custom partition resolver to find.
