Jacques Nadeau commented on DRILL-4236:
---------------------------------------
I guess it depends on how much more frequent the problems are. Do you have a
sense of this? I think this is structural and has existed for some time so my
first inclination is that it is not a release blocker. That said, if, even with
the config changes, this is substantially more frequent, we should probably
take stock.

> Before DRILL-4215, the sort operator wasn't able to correctly compute it's
> memory usage, and so it jumped through a bunch of hoops to try to figure out
> when it should spill to disk.
> With the transfer accounting in place, this code can be greatly simplified to
> just use the current operator memory allocation.
