> The Reduce's shuffle and initial merge is done in the TaskTracker's JVM. It
> would be better to have it run in the Task's child JVM. The advantages are:
> 1. The class path and environment would be set up correctly.
> 2. User code doesn't need to be loaded into the TaskTracker.
> 3. Lower memory usage and contention in the TaskTracker.
