    @andrewor14 Yes, Executor has a instance of BlockManagerMaster but all the 
important things BlockManagerMaster#stop do is send message 
"StopBlockManagerMaster" to DriverActor.
    
    If we allow Executors to send the message, most of sending should be fail 
because DriverActor accept at most one message "StopBlockManagerMaster".
