Rahul Sharma commented on CRUNCH-51:
------------------------------------

@Gabriel, it is good that the patch didn't apply cleanly. I think the patches 
that have gone in Crunch offer some improvement points to this patch. I will 
fix it.

> The total-order sorting provided by the Sort class (and therefore 
> PCollection#sort) relies on using a single reducer in order to provide 
> total-order sorting. This is very inefficient for large datasets, and should 
> be replaced with a total order partitioner instead.
