Review comment:
       [SPIP of 
SPARK-25299](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d6egnL6WHOwWZe8MWv3m8n4PToNacdx7n_0iMSWwhCQ/edit#)
 says "API proposed here sits behind the existing SortShuffleManager 
implementation of the ShuffleManager interface". While we could continue the 
work in that area (behind the existing SortShuffleManager), could we also 
discuss from another point of view like supporting shuffle manager 
implementations other than SortShuffleManager?
