Shixiong Zhu commented on SPARK-20952:
--------------------------------------
Why it needs TaskContext?
> TaskContext should be an InheritableThreadLocal
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-20952
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20952
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark Core
> Affects Versions: 2.1.1
> Reporter: Robert Kruszewski
> Priority: Minor
>
> TaskContext is a ThreadLocal as a result when you fork a thread inside your
> executor task you lose the handle on the original context set by the
> executor. We should change it to InheritableThreadLocal so we can access it
> inside thread pools on executors.
> See ParquetFileFormat#readFootersInParallel for example of code that uses
> thread pools inside the tasks.
