Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-3442:
------------------------------------------------

- QuickSort.getMaxDepth can be more aggressive: since the index are int, we 
have n <= 2^32 and lg n <= 32.  So, we could safely let QuickSort.getMaxDepth 
be something around (lg n)^3 or it should depend on the maximum size of system 
stack.

- HeapSort is a singleton.  Define a static variable HeapSort.INSTANCE.  Then, 
we don't have to new HeapSort() in QuickSort.

- public methods HeapSort.sort(IndexedSortable s, int p, int r) and 
QuickSort.sort(...) need javadoc.

- There are quite a few sorting classes/interfaces.  Consider create a new 
package for them.

- Remove BatcherSort in this patch.  Create a new issue if it is useful.
