   Thanks @holdenk for championing and shepherding this change !!
   
   @cloud-fan, I agree that this host <=> worker naming is confusing. It was 
especially confusing for a newcomer to me: `ExecutorProcessLost` has a field 
`workerLost` (renamed from the erstwhile `slaveLost`). I had to pick b/w 
`Worker` and `Host` in `ExecutorDecommissionInfo.isHostDecommissioned` and I 
went with `Worker` initially but later changed `Host`. 
   
   But in my mind, they are both the same: Basically there is one external 
shuffle service (if any) per worker (or host). The word `worker` might draw 
some unintended connotation to the Standalone mode so I refrained from using 
it. But I think its usage is quite pervasive already.
   
   It would be nice to have consistent terminology around `worker` vs `host` vs 
`node` :-P. In the absence of any, I went with `host` here.
