Review Comment:
   Hi @mridulm, in current implementation, once a block turns to be visible, 
driver would send a broadcast message to executors having the cached block data 
stored to mark the block as visible.
   
   The state `visibleRDDBlocks` is cached in 
[BlockerInfoManager](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/39459/files#diff-fdee2ef66ad5bea5323506395b453145c74f47c8da092dcacd34a66190a20a15).
 It is kind of cached visiblity state in executor side but only in executors 
which have the cached block stored. This is done in a push-based update style.
   
   With above mechanism, do you think we still need another cache to store the 
visiblity information in executor or do we also need to cache the state in 
executors not having the cached block data stored?
