    I'd doubt this is actually a memory leak as `UnsafeExternalSorter` already 
avoids memory leaks by registering a cleanup task: 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/spark/util/collection/unsafe/sort/UnsafeExternalSorter.java#L159
    
    Btw, as the comment indicates, you still can't avoid hold the memory for 
the cases like the operator followed by limit.
