Review Comment:
   > I don't fully understand how a top-k sort would become bounded. I may 
misundersrtand what the 
[ExecutionMode](https://docs.rs/datafusion/latest/datafusion/physical_plan/enum.ExecutionMode.html)
 trait means, but it seems like `TopK` could not complete until its input 
completed, but if its input was unbounded the sort itself therefore would also 
be unbounded
   
   I misassumed the implementation of top-k. Could you please take a look to 
the new idea?
