> Handle schema changes in ExternalSort

>                 Key: DRILL-4081
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4081
>             Project: Apache Drill
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Steven Phillips
>            Assignee: Steven Phillips
>
> This improvement will make use of the Union vector to handle schema changes. 
> When a new schema appears, the schema will be "merged" with the previous 
> schema. The result will be a new schema that uses Union type to store the 
> columns where this is a type conflict. All of the batches (including the 
> batches that have already arrived) will be coerced into this new schema.
> A new comparison function will be included to handle the comparison of Union 
> type. Comparison of union type will work as follows:
> 1. All numeric types can be mutually compared, and will be compared using 
> Drill implicit cast rules.
> 2. All other types will not be compared against other types, but only among 
> values of the same type.
> 3. There will be an overall precedence of types with regards to ordering. 
> This precedence is not yet defined, but will be as part of the work on this 
> issue.
