Paolo Castagna commented on JENA-44:
------------------------------------
Currently, a large sort done externally cannot be canceled or, more precisely,
even if cancel() is invoked or a timeout is set, the external sort once started
it cannot be interrupted.
We should make it checking a flag which will be set if requestCancel() is
called and stop the sorting as soon as possible once the flag has been set.

> In QueryIterSort, the sorting of the contents of an Iterator<Binding> is done
> in memory, using Arrays.sort. This can be problematic where the set to be
> sorted is large. A possible solution could be to use an external, disk-backed
> algorithm. A hybrid approach may be better, whereby we attempt the in-memory
> sort, but when the number of bindings encountered goes over a certain number,
> resort to the disk-backed variant.
