    I just looked through all the `put*` methods in `BlockManager`. It seems 
that we always call these methods with `tellMaster = true` for non-broadcast 
blocks. This would suggest that the driver should have the most updated states 
for the blocks that we care about here.
    
    I think @lianhuiwang is correct. An executor RPC does not seem necessary 
here, but I would test it just to be sure (persist, unpersist, evict old 
blocks...).
