----------------------------------
bq. The main problem here is that the user can override the env via
tez.task.env so we have no safe way to infer whether the NM gave the info or
not. For now, it might be better to remove this. Additionally, the aux service
could be implemented so as to allow the app to tell it of a location to monitor
and clean up after app completion instead of the aux service telling the app of
where to write data. This can be done via serviceData in the
ContainerLaunchContext.
[~hitesh] I think I can just remove it for now, otherwise it would be a little
bit too confusing for other people. I'll implement our own manager for this
purpose.

> 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.
