You're right that there are several instances of InputFormat and those
aren't shared across threads. The problem is that Hadoop uses reflection to get
InputFormat instances, which means the way for an InputFormat to cache
intermediate results is to use a static cache available across instances. I
don't think this is a huge risk, but I think it warrants being able to disable
UnionRDD concurrency.
