Github user shivaram commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8280#issuecomment-132331662 So my hypothesis right now is that the RDD in the reduce stage has two Shuffle dependencies and the first shuffle dependency happens to be the single map task stage -- so the locality preference ends up giving all the tasks to the single host. Hmm so my guess is that we need to be able to differentiate among different shuffle dependencies ideally. Here is another suggestion: Can we turn this off if we have more than one shuffle dependency ? it should be pretty cheap to count that
