yes, i think firstly we can provide a option to use this 
feature.example:spark.scheduler.removeStageBarrier
if need this feature, we just open a option and will not affect other's 
features.

> Remove the stage barrier for better resource utilization

> DAGScheduler divides a Spark job into multiple stages according to RDD 
> dependencies. Whenever there’s a shuffle dependency, DAGScheduler creates a 
> shuffle map stage on the map side, and another stage depending on that stage.
> Currently, the downstream stage cannot start until all its depended stages 
> have finished. This barrier between stages leads to idle slots when waiting 
> for the last few upstream tasks to finish and thus wasting cluster resources.
> Therefore we propose to remove the barrier and pre-start the reduce stage 
> once there're free slots. This can achieve better resource utilization and 
> improve the overall job performance, especially when there're lots of 
> executors granted to the application.
