> Merge small ChannelState file for Unaligned Checkpoint

>
> When making an unaligned checkpoint, the number of ChannelState files is
> TaskNumber * subtaskNumber. For high parallelism job, it writes too many
> small files. It causes high load for hdfs NN.
>
> In our production, a job writes more than 50K small files for each Unaligned
> Checkpoint. Could we merge these files before write FileSystem? We can
> configure the maximum number of files each TM can write in a single Unaligned
> Checkpoint.
