> Currently we do not set preferred locations for reduce tasks in Spark. This patch proposes setting preferred locations based on the map output sizes and locations tracked by the MapOutputTracker. This is useful in two conditions
> 1. When you have a small job in a large cluster it can be useful to co-locate map and reduce tasks to avoid going over the network
> 2. If there is a lot of data skew in the map stage outputs, then it is beneficial to place the reducer close to the largest output.
