Github user ggevay commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1626#issuecomment-183375884 Sorry, but I don't think it is independent, because the bug in the reduce drivers could alternatively be fixed by saying that the bug is actually not in the reduce drivers at all, but in `MergeIterator`, and fix it there instead (as in https://github.com/ggevay/flink/commit/b05e12075bb5d0518b6fe12cd8f7de1e6b16f805). This depends on what we want the contract of `MergeIterator.next(reuse)` to be.
