Fix Version/s: 0.18.0
> Optimize the case of Order by + Limit in nested foreach

> Key: PIG-4449

>
> This is one of the very frequently used patterns
> {code}
> grouped_data_set = group data_set by id;
> capped_data_set = foreach grouped_data_set
> {
> ordered = order joined_data_set by timestamp desc;
> capped = limit ordered $num;
> generate flatten(capped);
> };
> {code}
> But this performs very poorly when there are millions of rows for a key in
> the groupby with lot of spills. This can be easily optimized by pushing the
> limit into the InternalSortedBag and maintain only $num records any time and
> avoid memory pressure.
