Support for external shuffle services

Hi, does anyone knows whether there are any restrictions on using external shuffle services on CDP?

For instance, are the following external shuffle services supported?:

- uber rss

- apache uniffle

At the moment both uber rss and apache uniffle are not supported in CDP.

Dynamic resource allocation requires an external shuffle service that runs on each worker node as an auxiliary service of NodeManager. This service is started automatically; no further steps are needed. spark.shuffle.service.enabled=true enables the external shuffle service. The external shuffle service preserves shuffle files written by executors so that the executors can be deallocated without losing work. Must be enabled if dynamic allocation is enabled.

thanks for the information, we're running on yarn so I guess the steps mentioned in https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.0.0-preview2/running-on-yarn.html#configuring-the-external-shuffle-service must be executed to configure the external shuffle service on each worker node. Are there any plans to support any other external shuffle service like uber rss or apache uniffle in the future?
