> The Reduce's shuffle and initial merge is done in the TaskTracker's JVM. It 
> would be better to have it run in the Task's child JVM. The advantages are:
>   1. The class path and environment would be set up correctly.
>   2. User code doesn't need to be loaded into the TaskTracker.
>   3. Lower memory usage and contention in the TaskTracker.
