    @squito  Yes, I think your understanding is correct. this PR only support 
that a Spillables will be called once.  The code 'val sort = new Spillable() 
sort.iterator() sort.iterator()' will be wrong.
    for ExternalSorter.iterator, I find that is just called by 
BlockStoreShuffleReader.Read(). Every Reader will create new ExternalSorter, So 
i think it's ok for it.
    for ExternalAppendOnlyMap, It has two places that use it.They are 
Aggregator and CoGroupedRDD. we also can find that it create new 
ExternalAppendOnlyMap before call one  iterator(). So i think it is also ok for 
it.
    The input and output of them are Iterator and Iterator cannot be cached, so 
it will not affect when rdds are cached.
    BTW: this PR has been running for a long time on our many online spark jobs.
    If i missed some points, please put forward. It is worth mentioning that
