    I've spent a bit of time looking into some of the performance issues that 
we've seen in this patch.
    
    After this patch, it looks like some of the `mapPartitions` stages in the 
`correlationoptimizer.*` tests are taking ~7 seconds instead of a few tens of 
milliseconds (these were called from the SparkSQL Exchange operator).  
@marmbrus, maybe we should chat about this, since you're more familiar with 
that code.
    
    Operating under the theory that deserializing Hadoop Configuration / 
JobConfs was expensive, I tried a few alternative serialization approaches, 
including using WritableUtils to manually serialize the configuration and 
writing my own code to read that back into a configuration; this didn't seem to 
make a huge difference.
    
    I'm going to put this fix on hold for now until I have more time to figure 
out why we're seeing this slowdown.
    
    @ash211 Do you have a way to reliably reproduce the thread-safety issues 
that you reported in 
[SPARK-2546](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2546)?  That would be 
helpful in order to know whether I've actually fixed the problem with `clone()`.
