Description

We were seeing a worker overloaded and tuples timing out with loadaware shuffle enabled.  From investigating, we found that the code allows switching from Host local to Worker local if the load average is lower than the low water mark.  It really should be checking the load on the worker instead. 

 

What's happening is the worker is overloaded with tons of idle host local tasks, so it switches to HOST_LOCAL.  Then the calculation across all the host tasks is below the low water mark and it immediately switches back to the overloaded worker local task.
