Why restrict the spill batch size so low ? This would create more runs and
increase the risk of needing those intermediate merges. Otherwise during a
merge, only a single batch at a time is read from each run, not the whole run
(I believe -- if we spill all the remaining batches at the end ...)

> Fix For: 1.10.0
>
>
> The managed external sort was introduced in DRILL-5080. Since that time,
> extensive testing has identified a number of minor fixes and improvements.
> Given the long PR cycles, it is not practical to spend a week or two to do a
> PR for each fix individually. This ticket represents a roll-up of a
> combination of a number of fixes. Small fixes are listed here, larger items
> appear as sub-tasks.
