Review comment:
       Thank you very much for code review.
   
   The analysis of several implementations is as follows:
   _p = rdd.getNumPartitions_
   _reduce - PriorityQueue_(Original implementation) => At worst, _O(p * k)_ 
memory may be used in the driver, but intermediate result(local TopK) merging 
does not need to wait until all partitions are returned. This is executed in 
parallel.
   
   _repartition(1) - guava.QuickSelect_ => The merging takes place in the 
executor. The merging algorithm itself uses _O(k)_ extra memory, and the time 
complexity is _O(p * k)_. The intermediate result data is from 
ShuffleBlockFetcherIterator of spark shuffle, the iterator does not use too 
much memory.
   
   _treeReduce(depth=2) - guava.QuickSelect_ => At worst, _O(sqrt(p) * k)_ 
memory may be used in the driver. The memory usage in the executor is the same 
as _repartition(1)_. Compared with _repartition(1)_ it increases the 
parallelism of local TopK merging, which can improve the speed of merging under 
very large amount of data, but it uses more memory on the driver.
   
   The number of intermediate results that need to be merged is _p * k_. in 
general, this number is not very large, and the non parallel _O(p * k)_ merging 
algorithm is acceptable.
   So I think maybe _repartition(1)_  is a better choice.
