>
> When external sort spills, it first merges all of the in-memory batches, and
> then keeps one batch in memory, while spilling the rest to disk. It's
> possible that we will still run out of memory, due to the single batch held
> in memory for each spill. When the memory due to these batches becomes too
> large, we should combine the spill files.
