> In some cases, even though spill is triggered the main thread is still
> executing some user UDF which constructs a DataBag which requires lot of
> memory. Since we block on spill in POPartialAgg, there is kind of a deadlock
> as there is no memory for the user DataBag to grow and spill does not happen
> and job finally failing with OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded. So
> need to make POPartialAgg non-blocking so that the user DataBag can be
> spilled first for the code to reach POPartialAgg and spill.
