             Summary: Do not push sort into shuffle in Exchange operator
                 Key: SPARK-8317
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8317
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Josh Rosen
            Assignee: Josh Rosen


In some cases, Spark SQL pushes sorting operations into the shuffle layer by 
specifying a key ordering as part of the shuffle dependency. I think that we 
should not do this:

- Since we do not delegate aggregation to Spark's shuffle, specifying the 
keyOrdering as part of the shuffle has no effect on the shuffle map side.
- By performing the shuffle ourselves (by inserting a sort operator after the 
shuffle instead), we can use the Exchange planner to choose specialized sorting 
implementations based on the types of rows being sorted.
- We can remove some complexity from SqlSerializer2 by not requiring it to know 
about sort orderings, since SQL's own sort operators will already perform the 
necessary defensive copying.
