Right, but do be aware that it doesn't work the other way around. A stage and stageId can be created and associated with a ShuffleDependency when a job runs, then that stage and stageId can disappear from the DAGScheduler when the job completes (finished, canceled or aborted); but metadata, cached data, etc. for the associated ShuffleDependency should stick around as long as that ShuffleDependency is in scope, since DAGScheduler#newOrUsedStage will want to make use of prior mapOutputs (now associated with a fresh stageId) when it can instead of forcing re-evaluation of those results. Just because one job and stage is done with a shuffleDep, and as long as that shuffleDep is in scope from some RDD, that doesn't me that another job will not want to make use of that shuffleDep.
