> Currently we do not set preferred locations for reduce tasks in Spark. This
> patch proposes setting preferred locations based on the map output sizes and
> locations tracked by the MapOutputTracker. This is useful in two conditions
> 1. When you have a small job in a large cluster it can be useful to co-locate
> map and reduce tasks to avoid going over the network
> 2. If there is a lot of data skew in the map stage outputs, then it is
> beneficial to place the reducer close to the largest output.
