             Summary: drill.exec.sort.purge.threshold is misnamed
                 Key: DRILL-5016
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5016
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Paul Rogers
            Priority: Minor


The Drill config system provides a property called 
{{drill.exec.sort.purge.threshold}}. The name suggests that this is a parameter 
related to sorting. Perhaps it controls something having to do with when we 
purge buffered batches from memory in the ExternalSortBatch?

In fact, this is actually {{drill.exec.topn.purge-threshold}} - it affects only 
the Top-N operator, not sort.

To make this change, rename the config attribute in {{ExecConstants}} from

{code}
  String BATCH_PURGE_THRESHOLD = "drill.exec.sort.purge.threshold";
{code}

to:

{code}
  String TOP_N_PURGE_THRESHOLD = "drill.exec.topn.purge-threshold";
{code}

To permit backward compatibility, modify the use in TopNBatch to check the old 
value, use it if set, else use the new value.

{code}
    // Check pre x.y config parameter for backward compatibility.

    if ( ! context.getConfig( ).isEmpty( "drill.exec.sort.purge.threshold" ) ) {
      batchPurgeThreshold = 
context.getConfig().getInt("drill.exec.sort.purge.threshold");
    } else {
      batchPurgeThreshold = context.getConfig().getInt(ExecConstants. 
TOP_N_PURGE_THRESHOLD);
    }
{code}
