I thought the SortStep is a singleton object within the executor, and if
there are only one executor in one datanode, then the SortStep is sorting the
data within datanode-scope, which is what we want. Synchronization means
SortStep is thread-safe, so that multiple task can insert row into it.
Does your desing look like this? Otherwise how you ensure data is sorting
within datanode?
