@ottobackwards I haven't sent an email to the storm team, but I did run the
PR past a storm committer that I know and asked his opinion prior to submitting
the PR. The general answer was something to the effect of `The overall goal
should be to reduce the network shuffle unless its really required.` Also, the
notion of using an external threadpool didn't seem to be fundamentally
offensive.---
