> 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.
