Sergi, I totally understand and appreciate your point. You are totally correct in your point that something not having definite use case should not be done. However, in this case, I think many use cases exist for in memory sorting. For eg, I am hacking on a side application which requires ordering multi regex as fast as possible in memory. In other case, streaming extracting data from HDFS and calculating file CDC for large data using multi sort method is something I had in mind as well.
I think I did not come across clearly. The module I am talking about is currently a use case on top of Ignite and I was soliciting feedback if it is a good idea to integrate it with Ignite as a core module which can be offered as a functionality or used internally in case we plan to support features later on which require sorting (sort based aggregates for eg). Sorry for the ambiguity early on. I hope my idea is more clear now.
