Description

When building data local parallel applications it is often nice to know the physical location of blocks of data on the network so that, for each particular block of data we can try to load it into memory on a machine where it already exists on local disk.

This API exists, I think, in the C++ layer but is not yet exposed, I think, through the Python API.
