> In the current implementation of pipeline sort, when a new sort span object
> is created with a hard coded value of 1M items and 16 bytes per item.
> According to the present code logic,
> int metasize = METASIZE*maxItems;
> int dataSize = maxItems * perItem;
> if(capacity < (metasize+dataSize)) {
> // try to allocate less meta space, because we have sample data
> metasize = METASIZE*(capacity/(perItem+METASIZE));
> }
> if capacity is less than 32mb, the buffer will be halved into meta and value
> buffers, which is not efficient.
> We need a more generic split, based on the KV pair size written to the buffer.
