----------------------------------

             Summary: Avoid repeated computation of preferred locations in split grouping.
                 Key: TEZ-4069
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-4069
             Project: Apache Tez
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.9.2
            Reporter: Oliver Draese


The TezSplitGrouper iterates through the list of splits multiple times, when trying to group the splits (see getGroupedSplits). Each time, it asks the locationProvider to return the array of preferred locations for the splits. This has two side effects:
 * generating the list of preferred locations can cause some CPU overhead (i.e. calculating the consistent hash in HostAffinitySplitLocationProvider), which can be avoided
 * if the list of preferred location is changing between the different loops of getGroupedSplits, we might encounter a NullPointerException. This happens if a new location appears, that was not part of the initial set of locations when populating the distinctLocations map.

The getGroupedSplits should query the preferred locations only once (for each split) via the location provider and then memorize these instead of asking the location provider repeatedly.
