Description

Currently, the IFile format used by the MR shuffle checksums all data using the zlib CRC32 polynomial. If we allow use of CRC32C instead, we can get a large reduction in CPU usage by leveraging the native hardware CRC32C implementation (approx half a second of CPU time savings per GB checksummed).
