> Fetch big blocks to disk when shuffle-read

> Key: SPARK-19659

> Currently the whole block is fetched into memory(offheap by default) when
> shuffle-read. A block is defined by (shuffleId, mapId, reduceId). Thus it can
> be large when skew situations. If OOM happens during shuffle read, job will
> be killed and users will be notified to "Consider boosting
> spark.yarn.executor.memoryOverhead". Adjusting parameter and allocating more
> memory can resolve the OOM. However the approach is not perfectly suitable
> for production environment, especially for data warehouse.
> Using Spark SQL as data engine in warehouse, users hope to have a unified
> parameter(e.g. memory) but less resource wasted(resource is allocated but not
> used),
> It's not always easy to predict skew situations, when happen, it make sense
> to fetch remote blocks to disk for shuffle-read, rather than
> kill the job because of OOM. This approach is mentioned during the discussion
> in SPARK-3019, by [~sandyr] and [~mridulm80]
