Github user jerryshao commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/1009#issuecomment-45430013 Hi Matei, since we already have `ShuffleWriter` and `ShuffleManager`, do we still need to keep `ShuffleBlockManager`, I think two functionalities of `ShuffleBlockManager` as getting shuffle writer and managing shuffle block location can separately move into `HashShuffleWriter` and `HashShuffleManager` or some others. I think it will be more clear and loose-couple for the shuffle module and `BlockManager`.
