Github user jaceklaskowski commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8976#issuecomment-146506978 Sure, but how do you know **now** how the public API is going to look like? It is **currently** causing troubles in understanding the code and we only **wish** / **hope** to have uses in the future. I'm all for this and very well understand the reasoning. Unless there are short-term plans to work on using `preferredNodeLocationData` (there's a task and plan for 1.6), I'll be advocating for removing it as it simply causes confusion and misunderstanding how Spark really works.
