> The async nature of the shufflehandler can cause it to open a huge number of
> file descriptors, when it runs out it crashes.
> Scenario:
> Job with 6K reduces, slow start set to 0.95, about 40 map outputs per node.
> Let's say all 6K reduces hit a node at about same time asking for their
> outputs. Each reducer will ask for all 40 map outputs over a single socket in a
> single request (not necessarily all 40 at once, but with coalescing it is
> likely to be a large number).
> sendMapOutput() will open the file for random reading and then perform an async transfer of the particular portion of this file(). This will theoretically
> happen 6000*40=240000 times which will run the NM out of file descriptors and cause it to crash.
> The algorithm should be refactored a little to not open the fds until they're
> actually needed.
