> In SortByShuffler.java, an ArrayList is used to back the iterator for values 
> that have the same key in shuffled result produced by spark transformation 
> sortByKey. It's possible that memory can be exhausted because of a large key 
> group.
> {code}
>             @Override
>             public Tuple2<HiveKey, Iterable<BytesWritable>> next() {
>               // TODO: implement this by accumulating rows with the same key 
> into a list.
>               // Note that this list needs to improved to prevent excessive 
> memory usage, but this
>               // can be done in later phase.
>               while (it.hasNext()) {
>                 Tuple2<HiveKey, BytesWritable> pair = it.next();
>                 if (curKey != null && !curKey.equals(pair._1())) {
>                   HiveKey key = curKey;
>                   List<BytesWritable> values = curValues;
>                   curKey = pair._1();
>                   curValues = new ArrayList<BytesWritable>();
>                   curValues.add(pair._2());
>                   return new Tuple2<HiveKey, Iterable<BytesWritable>>(key, 
> values);
>                 }
>                 curKey = pair._1();
>                 curValues.add(pair._2());
>               }
>               if (curKey == null) {
>                 throw new NoSuchElementException();
>               }
>               // if we get here, this should be the last element we have
>               HiveKey key = curKey;
>               curKey = null;
>               return new Tuple2<HiveKey, Iterable<BytesWritable>>(key, 
> curValues);
>             }
> {code}
> Since the output from sortByKey is already sorted on key, it's possible to 
> backup the value iterable using the input iterator.
