Hi Yun, Thanks for your feedback.
I think setting taskmanager.network.sort-shuffle.min-parallelism to 1 and using sort-shuffle for all cases by default is a good suggestion. I am not choosing this value mainly because two reasons: 1. The first one is that it increases the usage of network memory which may cause "insufficient network buffer" exception and user may have to increase the total network buffers. 2. There are several (not many) TPCDS queries suffers some performance regression on SSD. For the first issue, I will test more settings on tpcds and see the influence. For the second issue, I will try to find the cause and solve it in 1.15. I am open for your suggestion, but I still need some more tests and analysis to guarantee that it works well.
