**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] (This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for this feature, in addition to the *what*) Certain operators (Sort, HashJoin, etc) support spill-to-disk if they have to buffer too much data in memory. For some use cases this may not be desired and it would be better to have the query fail. It would be great if this was configurable in the `SessionConfig` and if the flag was set to false, any operator which uses a `MemoryConsumer` would fail instead of trying to spill to disk. **Describe the solution you'd like** A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. Add an `enable_disk_spill` to the `SessionConfig` (which can default to `true` for backwards compat). Current implementations of `MemoryConsumer` should respect this flag and fail when `spill` is called if disk spill is disabled. **Describe alternatives you've considered** A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. This could be configured on a per-operator basis but I think it probably is something that needs to be either globally disabled or enabled in the vast majority of use cases. **Additional context** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
