    > then you get fetch failure again and iterate until job failure
    
    At first I was thinking the node goes bad, but you first detect it via 
fetch failures -- in that case, you wouldn't need this, when the tasks get 
re-run on the bad node, they'd fail, and the node would still get blacklisted.  
But you're saying the issue is if the node is actually totally healthy, so 
tasks can still write shuffle data, but the external shuffle service becomes 
unusable.
    
    I don't think of losing all the shuffle data to be as aggressive as 
blacklisting the node, but maybe you're right, its pretty similar.
    
    I guess I'm OK with this, though I'm still not sure when I'd tell users to 
turn this on.
