Hi,

When non-sequential data is large, so the number of chunks of merge is too large, it may cause the problem of exhausting memory. So when the number of chunks merged at the same time reaches a certain limit, the external method is adopted. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
