> Another thought: isn't one attraction of TopK to have a streaming algorithm with O(k) memory consumption? Making a full sort requires to materialize the entire input, hence O(n) memory consumption. That is a fair point. However, this kernel as-is is not a streaming implementation and we would have to implement it as an actual aggregate kernel to get that behavior. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
