> When working on TimSort (LUCENE-4839), I was a little frustrated of not being
> able to add galloping support because it would have required to add new
> primitive operations in addition to compare and swap.
> I started working on a prototype that uses inheritance to allow some sorting
> algorithms to rely on additional primitive operations. You can have a look at
> https://github.com/jpountz/sorts/tree/master/src/java/net/jpountz/sorts (but
> beware it is a prototype and still misses proper documentation and good
> tests).
> I think it would offer several advantages:
> - no more need to implement setPivot and comparePivot when using in-place
> merge sort or insertion sort,
> - the ability to use faster stable sorting algorithms at the cost of some
> memory overhead (our in-place merge sort is very slow),
> - the ability to implement properly algorithms that are useful on specific
> datasets but require different primitive operations (such as TimSort for
> partially-sorted data).
> If you are interested in comparing these implementations with Arrays.sort,
> there is a Benchmark class in src/examples.
> What do you think?
