i have seen many jobs where spark re-uses shuffle files (and skips a stage
of a job), which is an awesome feature given how expensive shuffles are,
and i generally now assume this will happen.

however i feel like i am going a little crazy today. i did the simplest
test in spark 3.3.0, basically i run 2 jobs within same spark shell, so
using same spark session, and broadcast join is disabled so we get
shuffles:
1) job1 joins dataframe1 with dataframe0 and writes results out.
2) job2 joins dataframe2 with dataframe0 and writes results out.

i would expect job2 to skip the stage where dataframe0 is getting shuffled,
but its not skipping it! what am i missing?
is shuffle re-use only enabled within same job/action? that goes against
what i remember...

code:
$ spark-shell --conf spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold=-1
scala> val data0 = spark.read.format("csv").option("header",
true).load("data0.csv")
scala> val data1 = spark.read.format("csv").option("header",
true).load("data1.csv")
scala> val data2 = spark.read.format("csv").option("header",
true).load("data2.csv")
scala> data1.join(data0, "key").write.format("parquet").save("out1")
scala> data2.join(data0, "key").write.format("parquet").save("out2") //
should skip stage that scans csv for data0 and writes shuffle files... but
it doesn't
