> The current vertex-intermediate format used all across Tez is a flat file of
> variable length k,v pairs. For a significant number of use-cases, in
> particular the sorted output phase, a large number of consecutive identical
> keys are found within the same stream. The IFile format ends up writing each
> key out fully into the stream to generate (K,V) pairs instead of ordering it
> into a more efficient K, {V1, .. Vn} list.
> This duplication of key data needs larger buffers to hold in memory and
> requires comparison between keys known to be identical while doing a merge
> sort.
> This bug tracks the building of a prototype IFile format which is optimized
> for lower uncompressed sizes within memory buffers and less compute intensive
> to perform merge sorts during the reducer phase.
