> ReduceTask.ReduceCopier.ShuffleRamManager initializes numRequiredMapOutputs
> to 0, so one of the predicates in ShuffleRamManager::waitForDataToMerge,
> {{numPendingRequests < numRequiredMapOutputs}}, is false until the first map
> output is fetched and false again after the last map output is fetched. The
> InMemFSMergeThread thread will loop busily in this state.
