What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Currently the number of parallel fetches is hard-coded to 5. As a result the size of each fetch request is fixed at 1/5th of maxSizeInFlights. Since, chunks are requested in bursts of fetchRequests; the size of a burst to a single shuffle service can be high for large maxSizeInFlight

Introduce a new configuration parameter "spark.reducer.numParallelFetchRequets" to make it configurable.

How was this patch tested?

I'm not convinced we need this configuration, we can always control the size of each fetch request by maxSizeInFlights, so why bother importing this new config?

maxSizeInFlight can be large (~100-200 MB) when (a) available memory at reducer is high, or (b) when reducer spends most of its time waiting for fetchRequests. In such cases, using a hard coded value of '5' parallel fetches will result in individual fetchRequests to be bursts of size 20-40 MB. The configuration parameter, allows one to have smaller sized fetchRequests while keeping the total maxSizeInFlight a constant.

Did you see an explicit performance change while changing this parameter? I would think netty client thread number for shuffle is still a bottleneck even if you split into more fetch requests.

We already have bunch of configurations to control the request size, memory usage, bytes in flight here in shuffle fetch, adding more configuration really complex the logics.
