> Minimize intermediate merging of spilled buffers
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-2655
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2655
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Distributed Runtime
> Affects Versions: master
> Reporter: Greg Hogan
>
> If the number of spilled buffers exceeds taskmanager.runtime.max-fan then the
> number of files must reduced with an intermediate merge by reading, merging,
> and spilling into a single, larger file.
> The current implementation performs an intermediate merge on all files. An
> optimal implementation minimizes the amount of merged data by performing
> partial merges first.
