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

After looking at this a bit more, I think I understand the issue better.  Is 
this a correct description of the issue?

Suppose you have the following DAG: 

{noformat}
                            
[A] <---- [B] <---- [C]
            \                    /
              <-----------------
{noformat}

Here,  RDD B has a shuffle dependency on RDD A, and RDD C has shuffle 
dependency on both B and A.  The shuffle dependency IDs are numbers in the 
DAGScheduler, but to make the example easier to understand, let's call the 
shuffled data from A shuffle dependency ID s_A and the shuffled data from B 
shuffle dependency ID s_B.

The getAncestorShuffleDependencies method in DAGScheduler (incorrectly) does 
not check for duplicates when it's adding ShuffleDependencies to the parents 
data structure, so for this DAG, when getAncestorShuffleDependencies gets 
called on C (the final RDD), getAncestorShuffleDependencies will return s_B, 
s_A, s_A (s_A gets added twice: once when the method "visit"s RDD C, and once 
when the method "visit"s RDD B).  This is problematic because this line of 
code: 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/scheduler/DAGScheduler.scala#L289
 then generates a new shuffle stage for each dependency returned by 
getAncestorShuffleDependencies, resulting in duplicate map stages that compute 
the map output from RDD A.

> Make DAGScheduler.getAncestorShuffleDependencies() return in topological 
> order to ensure building ancestor stages first.

> {{DAGScheduler}} sometimes generate incorrect stage graph.
> Some stages are generated for the same shuffleId twice or more and they are 
> referenced by the child stages because the building order of the graph is not 
> correct.
> Here, we submit an RDD\[F\] having a linage of RDDs as follows (please see

> {{DAGScheduler}} generates the following stages and their parents for each 
> shuffle id:
> | shuffle id | stage | parents |
> | 0 | ShuffleMapStage 2 | List() |
> | 1 | ShuffleMapStage 1 | List(ShuffleMapStage 0) |
> | 2 | ShuffleMapStage 3 | List(ShuffleMapStage 1) |
> | 3 | ShuffleMapStage 4 | List(ShuffleMapStage 2, ShuffleMapStage 3) |
> | 4 | ShuffleMapStage 5 | List(ShuffleMapStage 1, ShuffleMapStage 4) |
> | \- | ResultStage 6 | List(ShuffleMapStage 5) |
> The stage for shuffle id {{0}} should be {{ShuffleMapStage 0}}, but the stage 
> for shuffle id {{0}} is generated twice as {{ShuffleMapStage 2}} and 
> {{ShuffleMapStage 0}} is overwritten by {{ShuffleMapStage 2}}, and the stage 
> {{ShuffleMap Stage1}} keeps referring the _old_ stage {{ShuffleMapStage 0}}.
