----------------------------------
[~rkannan82] Are you still looking to contribute/implement this feature? It
seems like [~shanyu] has also started taking a look at this. Would you mind if
we re-assign this jira to him if you are not planning to look at this in the
near future?
> Support DFS based shuffle in addition to HTTP shuffle

> In Tez, Shuffle is a mechanism by which intermediate data can be shared
> between stages. Shuffle data is written to local disk and fetched from any
> remote node using HTTP. A DFS like MapR file system can support writing this
> shuffle data directly to its DFS using a notion of local volumes and retrieve
> it using HDFS API from remote node. The current Shuffle implementation
> assumes local data can only be managed by LocalFileSystem. So it uses
> RawLocalFileSystem and LocalDirAllocator. If we can remove this assumption
> and introduce an abstraction to manage local disks, then we can reuse most of
> the shuffle logic (store, sort) and inject a HDFS API based retrieval instead
> of HTTP.
