> The bypassMergeThreshold parameter (and associated use of a hash-ish shuffle when the number of partitions is less than this) is basically a workaround for SparkSQL, because the fact that the sort-based shuffle stores non-serialized objects is a deal-breaker for SparkSQL, which re-uses objects.  Once the sort-based shuffle is changed to store serialized objects, we should never be secretly doing hash-ish shuffle even when the user has specified to use sort-based shuffle (because of its otherwise worse performance).
> [~rxin][~adav], masters of shuffle, it would be helpful to get agreement from you on this proposal (and also a sanity check that I've correctly characterized the issue).
