    Description

      A SparkWork instance currently may contain disjointed work graphs. For instance, union_remove_1.q may generated a plan like this:

      Reduce2 <- Map 1
      Reduce4 <- Map 3
      

      The SparkPlan instance generated from this work graph contains two result RDDs. When such plan is executed, we call .foreach() on the two RDDs sequentially, which results two Spark jobs, one after the other.

      While this works functionally, the performance will not be great as the Spark jobs are run sequentially rather than concurrently.

      Another side effect of this is that the corresponding SparkPlan instance is over-complicated.

      The are two potential approaches:

      1. Let SparkCompiler generate a work that can be executed in ONE Spark job only. In above example, two Spark task should be generated.

      2. Let SparkPlanGenerate generate multiple Spark plans and then SparkClient executes them concurrently.

      Approach #1 seems more reasonable and naturally fit to our architecture. Also, Hive's task execution framework already takes care of the task concurrency.
