# Which issue does this PR close? <!-- We generally require a GitHub issue to be filed for all bug fixes and enhancements and this helps us generate change logs for our releases. You can link an issue to this PR using the GitHub syntax. For example `Closes #123` indicates that this PR will close issue #123. --> Part of #3579. # Rationale for this change <!-- Why are you proposing this change? If this is already explained clearly in the issue then this section is not needed. Explaining clearly why changes are proposed helps reviewers understand your changes and offer better suggestions for fixes. --> During sorting, when we receive a new record batch we try to allocate space for it. This is done with the assumption that the result of this sort will still be around, and we don't want to accidentally overflow the memory so we have to keep track of it. But after the #3510, this assumption might not hold for all cases (particularly when you have a `fetch` limit set on your sorting operation) so we might be over-allocating memory and constantly spilling for no good reason. # What changes are included in this PR? <!-- There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR. --> This PR adds the logic for avoiding over-allocations by instructing the memory manager to shrink after each partial sort with a limit. # Are there any user-facing changes? <!-- If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be updated before approving the PR. --> No, this should be an optimization. <!-- If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `api change` label. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
