    Could this class be generalized for all spilling operators (and then 
customized for Sort, e.g., merge related parts.) ?  There are some parts with 
"fuzzy math" (e.g. batch size estimates; memory needed) ; Hash Agg is also 
doing its own fuzzy math - should all these be done the same way ? 
    (The Hash Agg tried to be more conservative - like assuming 3 batches per a 
partition, though in theory 2 would do; currently this is controlled with an 
option)

> Validate the proposed sub-operator test framework, by creating low-level unit 
> tests for the managed version of the external sort.
> The external sort has a small number of existing tests, but those tests are 
> quite superficial; the "managed sort" project found many bugs. The managed 
> sort itself was tested with ad-hoc system-level tests created using the new 
> "cluster fixture" framework. But, again, such tests could not reach deep 
> inside the sort code to exercise very specific conditions.
> As a result, we spent far too much time using QA functional tests to identify 
> specific code issues.
> Using the sub-opeator unit test framework, we can instead test each bit of 
> functionality at the unit test level.
> If doing so works, and is practical, it can serve as a model for other 
> operator testing projects.
