> So we get rid of the `seek` now? And `ioExceptionsThresholdDuringMerge` is used for other potential recoverable IOExceptions? There is a need to maintain the positions in the index/meta file, since we can't rely on `RAF.getFilePointer`. We have to maintain our own pointer, so it just seems better to avoid RAF all together. This gets rid of `RAF.seek`. > And ioExceptionsThresholdDuringMerge is used for other potential recoverable IOExceptions? This is a limit on the number of IOExceptions for a particular shuffle partition. Once this limit is breached, the server will respond with a failure similar to "TOO Late". ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
